A whimsical, absurdist comedy-drama about two brothers encountering a mysteriously headphone-wearing donkey in the desert, blending surreal humor with understated human connection.

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.
