Love, Life & Everything in Between is a series of short films made by directors around the Arab world; the eight episodes examine stories about love and others using it as a framework. The series tells stories from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Tunisia, Lebanon and Morocco. The first episode is named O Brother. It’s Valentine’s Day, and a village chief (Salah Abdallah) is excited that it’s the day of the engagement party for his daughter Shorouk (Passant Shawky), who is going to marry an engineer. At one point she was going to marry Diab (Ahmed Ezz), a struggling dirt farmer, but the much more financially stable engineer is a better match, according to her father. As Shorouk goes to work as a schoolteacher, a cow named Samah goes missing. The chief is so distraught that he tells his crew to go through town and tell people he’s offering a 50,000 reward for the cow’s return. One of the reason why the reward is so high is that he thinks it’s a bad omen for Shorouk’s wedding. Diab’s little brother Faris (Adham Hossam) hears about the reward and goes to Diab, begging him to help him look for the cow. Diab feels everyone will be looking for Samah, so why should he? But Faris has another idea that he’s not telling his older brother about: to bring Diab and Shorouk back together.
