About Ayam Bela Hob
Two colleagues from Port Said meet each other during their studies. Nadia, the daughter of the wealthy Shaker, and Hosni, the engineer, the son of the poor fisherman, return to Port Said. Hosni's father suffers from the injustice imposed by the wealthy Shaker, Nadi's father. Hosni helps his father stand up to Shaker. Nadia offers Hosni a job in her father's fleet, but he refuses. Nadia decides to run away with Hosni and get married in Cairo. However, her father's men catch her and threaten to kill Hosni if he does not stay away from Nadia.
Directed by Hossam El Dine Mostafa, Ayam Bela Hob leans on a strong ensemble — Nadia Lotfi, Kamal Al-Shenawy, Mahmoud Al-Sabaa — 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 1962.
