A Glimpse of Power (1988)
Overview
Fatima is a rural woman left behind when both her husband and brother depart to fight in the war. Alone, she carries the weight of survival, caring for her elderly father and young son, tending the land and livestock, and traveling long distances to bring water home. Amid the grind of daily hardship, longing consumes her. A horse once ridden and cherished by her husband becomes her sole emotional bridge to the absent men, embodying memory, hope, and endurance. Through it, she waits endlessly for their letters, clinging to reassurance that they are still alive.
