"A comic but loving celebration that works on many levels. It's a wonderfully animated and exuberant story about everyday life and friendship."
-Toronto Sun

Set in 1967, A Summer in La Goulette 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 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 will divide Jews and Arabs the world over.
