Al Fajr is the first Tunisian feature film. It tells the story of three young Tunisians who fight against the French colonisation.

The story of two girls. Saadia was raped after fierce resistance, which allowed her to take revenge by killing her attacker, but the village men's council felt she had been provocative and sentenced her to death. She is shot and the women of the village, transgressing the tradition, follow her funeral procession. As for Selma, who loved Hedi, she sees her father forcing her to marry another man. His lover comes back hastily but drowns. Became crazy, she succumbs in turn.
