About This Movie

Nefta Football Club is a quirky slice of life that blends comedy and drama in an unexpected way. Set against the sun-soaked, sprawling Tunisian desert, the film follows two brothers who stumble upon a donkey outfitted with headphones—an image that’s both amusing and oddly poignant. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of silence to breathe, almost like the desert itself. The performances are understated yet effective, capturing that brotherly bond with a subtle charm. Themes of absurdity and the randomness of life weave throughout, making it a distinctive watch. The practical effects come into play with the donkey, which really adds to the film’s unique character. Overall, it’s a film that lingers in your mind, partly due to its peculiar premise and partly because of its heart.
