About Cats of Hamra Street
A group of hippies lives in Beirut, taking Al-Hamra Street as a spot for them and their adventures. Samy is one of their own who is trying to escape from his past and pushes his girl to live the same wasted life. In order to satisfy him, she agrees but pays a heavy price.
Directed by Samir El Ghoussayni, Cats of Hamra Street leans on a strong ensemble — Madiha Kamel, Yousuf Shaaban, Nawal Abu ElFottoh — 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 1971.
