About A Glimpse of Power
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.
Directed by Carlo Hartyon, A Glimpse of Power leans on a strong ensemble — Laila Mohammed, Khalil Shawki, Miqdad Abdulreda — 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 screen titles of 1988.
