Halal Love

Squabbling newlyweds Batoul and Mokhtar play with fire as they continually threaten divorce over Mokhtar's possessive jealousy. Their neighbor, Salim, thinks "a bit of nooky fixes everything." However, Salim's exhausted wife, Awatef, starts grooming a potential second wife to help deal with his nooky demands, and their precocious daughters come up with their own wild theory about the birds and the bees. Meanwhile Loubna, a divorcée and up-and-coming clothing designer, hopes for a second chance with her first love, green grocer Abu Ahmad, through a potentially scandalous secret marriage.
