Overview

A Glimpse of Power is a poetic Moroccan drama centred on Fatima, a rural woman left alone to carry the full weight of survival when both her husband and brother leave to fight in the war. She tends the land, cares for her elderly father and young son, and walks long distances for water — all while longing quietly consumes her. A horse once beloved by her husband becomes her emotional tether to the absent men, embodying memory, hope, and endurance. Waiting endlessly for letters that may never arrive, Fatima holds herself together through sheer force of will.
