About قصة الحي الغربي
The story revolves around the quarrels that occur between (Rajab) and his friends on the one hand, and between (Tolba) and his friends on the other hand. (Sami) falls in love with (Amal), Rajab’s sister, even though he is a follower of Tolba. (Nawal), her brother's fiancée, warns her of this relationship. Sami separates from Tolba and goes to Rajab to ask his sister, Amal, to marry him.
Directed by Adel Sadeq, قصة الحي الغربي leans on a strong ensemble — Hussein Fahmy, Saeed Saleh, Sohier Ramzy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1979.
