1967. En la Goulette, una pequeña ciudad portuaria tunecina, conviven en perfecta armonía distintos grupos étnicos. Yousseí, el musulmán, Jojo, el judío tunecino, y Giuseppe, el siciliano católico, eran tan inseparables como sus tres hijas de 16 años. En una especie de conspiración adolescente, las tres chicas deciden perder su virginidad el 15 de Agosto, el día de la Virgen. Lo malo es que se fijan en chicos de distinta religión, lo que supone violar un tabú. Todo ello ocurre en vísperas de la guerra de los Seis Días, contienda que enfrentará para siempre a judíos y musulmanes.

A pioneering film from Tunisia, Fatma 75 is the first non-fiction film by a Tunisian woman, a feminist essay film, and the first in a series of powerful films about strong female figures in the country. The film was made in the UN International Women's Year 1975, and has long been recognised as one of the most important films from North Africa, but has never officially been seen before due to censorship.

On the evening of his birthday, the young painter Sadri walked out on his mistress Lisa, and the party planned in his honour.
While ambling along the beaches of Carthage in the dead of night, he sees a young woman, as beautiful as she was enigmatic, completely nude, rise up out of the waves. She told him her name was Yusra.
From that time on Sadri was to live a story of wild love and spellbinding erotism with the mysterious stranger, abandoning the heartbroken Lisa.
While attempting to paint her portrait, Sadri noticed there was a strange resemblance between Yusra and Lisa. An old wise man whom he met in the ruins of Carthage, told him that Yusra was one of the names of Dido, queen of ancient Carthage, who sometimes comes back to earth in the body of a young woman. Sadri tries to solve the mystery of the origins of the beautiful stranger.
