Al bahs an manfaz i khoroug al sayed Rambo (Seeking haven for Mr. Rambo)

In a working-class neighbourhood of Cairo, 30-year-old Hassan faces eviction with his mother and his dog, Rambo, as their landlord, Karem, a car mechanic, plans to expand his workshop. When Hassan’s mother decides to sue Karem, he responds with hostility, leading to an attack on Hassan. Unable to defend himself, Hassan is rescued by Rambo, who bites Karem in a sensitive spot in a public display. Determined to restore his dignity, Karem intensifies his harassment, prompting Hassan to embark on a challenging journey across the city to find a safe haven for Rambo. Through this quest, Hassan confronts his deepest fears and rediscovers himself.

For years, I have envisioned a blurry image: a young man alone on a dark, quiet sidewalk at night, hugging his dog amid the cold. This image has evoked a profound sense of belonging, reflecting my own experience of persistent loneliness. Al Bahs An Manfaz l Khoroug Al Sayed Rambo is not a film about extreme violence against dogs but rather an exploration of my generation’s complex relationship with society. It examines the paradox of intense love intertwined with fear and resentment—a relationship where we often feel like stray dogs chased through the city, yet unable to find any other place to belong.
