Overview
One Roof, One Family is an Algerian comedy-drama following Selim Mechoubine, a 28-year-old court clerk who dreams of marriage while crammed into a tiny apartment with his parents and siblings. His mother triumphantly finds him a suitable bride, but the joy is short-lived when the bride's family insists the couple must have a home of their own. What follows is a comedic odyssey as Selim navigates Algeria's brutal housing crisis — battling bureaucratic red tape, endless waiting lists, and fruitless requests. The film blends sharp social commentary with warm humor, capturing the universal frustration of young people trying to build a future when the most basic necessities feel impossibly out of reach.
