Synopsis
In the south of Tunisia, two football fan brothers bump into a donkey lost in the middle of the desert on the border of Algeria. Strangely, the animal wears headphones over its ears.

OSCAR NOMINEE: Live Action Short
All that Donkey needs is an iphone and some nice shades.
By far the funniest and most charming of the short film nominations and the final shot is the best of the five films. Worth watching and third on my list of shorts.
FINAL RANKINGS: (1) Brotherhood (2) A Sister (3) Nefta Football Club (4) The Neighbor's Window (5) Saria
This was easily my favorite of the nominated live action shorts. I’m glad that this short was played last because it had the lightest tone out of all of the nominated shorts. Donkeys be vibin!

I can see why people like this but something about it just didn’t click with me. I wouldn’t be annoyed if it ended up winning though.
Parece tão de praxe que nas categorias de curtas os filmes tenham abordagens duras para temas relevantes ao atual cenário mundial, que quando aparece um filme que foge disso, como Nefta, a experiência é super agradável. Assumidamente uma comédia de erros com uma visão global, seja no futebol (quer assunto mais mundano que esse?) ou na música, Nefta concilia personagens locais e também universais (tal qual os de Parasita) com uma montagem ágil. O final é recompensador.
