Overview

Brother Saleha is an Arabic comedy series that explores the awkward domestic dynamics between Salha, a divorced woman, and her cousin and ex-husband Abdul Rahman. Despite their divorce, the two continue to share a government-owned apartment — complicated by the fact that Abdul Rahman has since remarried. Since Salha owns half of the property, any decision about selling or changing the living arrangements requires her agreement. The resulting situation breeds a steady stream of comedic scenarios, fueled largely by Salha's barely concealed jealousy toward her ex-husband's new wife. The series offers a humorous yet perceptive look at post-divorce relationships, shared living, and the social dynamics of Gulf family life.
