A Summer in La Goulette
Directed by Férid Boughedir
Produced by La Sept Cinéma, Cinares Productions
A warm, playful coming-of-age comedy set in 1960s Tunisia that balances youthful rebellion against family tradition with genuine affection for its characters and their cultural intersections.
Summer of 1967. La Goulette, a touristic beach of Tunisia, is the site where three seventeen-year-old girls live: Gigi, Sicilian and Catholic; Meriem, Tunisian and Muslim; Tina, French and Jewish. They would like to have their first sexual experience during that summer, challenging their families. Their fathers, Youssef, Jojo and Giuseppe, are old friends and their friendship will be in crisis because of the girls, while Hadj, an old rich Arab, would like to marry Meriem.
