The poignant life of a strong woman through three snapshots of decisive moments in her life and for her country.

To Live by Your Light is the story of Malika, a multifaceted woman from the Moroccan countryside.
Three sections, three places (Beni Mellal, Rabat, Salé), three fragments from a single life, three rebellions. From 1954 to 1999, from French colonization to the death of King Hassan II, it is Malika, a character as mysterious as she is likable, who tells her own tale, revealing her strategies to escape the injustices of history and survive the loss of her husband, who left to fight for France in Indochina. Survive, to save her family. Survive the violence of men in Morocco today.
