Synopsis

Set in 1967 at a Tunisian beach resort called La Goulette, this "wonderfully animated and exuberant story about everyday life and friendship" (Liz Braun, Toronto Sun) examines a time when Muslims, Jews, and Catholics lived together in harmony as neighbors. Youssef (a Muslim), Jojo (a Jew), and Giuseppe (a Catholic) are best of friends until each of their 17-year-old daughters swears to lose their virginity by a certain date. To make matters worse, each daughter sets her sights on a boy of a different religion, thus challenging an inviolable taboo and causing a rift between their fathers. As the families resolve their differences, the Six-Day War breaks out in the Middle East, which divides Jews and Arabs the world over. In French and Arabic Ferid Boughedir---Tunisia/France/Belgium---1996---100 mins.
