Synopsis

The year is 1967 in La Goulette—a small harbor town in the suburbs of Tunis where various cultures have lived together for ages in effortless harmony. Youssef (Mustapha Adouani), Jojo (Guy Nataf), and Giuseppe (Ivo Salerno) are as inseparable as their three 16–year–old–daughters, Meriem (Sonia Mankaï), Gigi (Sarah Pariente), and Tina (Ava Cohen-Jonathan). In a fit of teenage provocation, the three girls swear that they will lose their virginity by the day of the procession of the Madonna. To make matters worse, each of them has her eyes on a boy of a different religion, thus challenging an inviolable taboo. This leads the three families to cut off all ties with one another. But the bonds tying the three fathers are too strong. They end up making up, more like brothers than ever, just before the Six Day War breaks out in the Middle East, tearing apart Jews and Arabs the world over.
