The story

What Is The Foster Brothers About?

The premise of The Foster Brothers without spoilers.

Saban, Ramazan and Bayram serve as sailors in the Ottoman Navy under commander Hüsamettin. They stay at Hüsamettin’s family home, where his sister mistakenly believes Ramazan is her foster son Saban. To avoid Hüsamettin’s temper, she presents Ramazan as her son‑in‑law and Bayram as Saban. When the real Saban and Bayram arrive, the mistaken identities create comic chaos, all while a gulyabani—a ghoul from Turkish folklore—haunts the residence.
