About Hob La Yara Al-Shams
Under pressure from his father Hassan, Ahmed agrees to marry another to give birth to someone who inherits his wealth. The choice falls on the dreams of the poor girl who counts her sick mother. The father agrees with her to give her a monthly amount of money, provided that the divorce takes place after her birth and that Amal hopes to raise the baby. Over time, love grows between Ahmad and Ahlam.
Directed by Ahmed Yehia, Hob La Yara Al-Shams leans on a strong ensemble — Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, Naglaa Fathy, Farid Shawqy — 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 1980.
