Don't Let The Sun Go Up On Me. Foto: Asmae El Moudir
Synopsis på engelsk: Condemned to a life away the sun, Fatimazahra lived at night with the “Children of the Moon.” After her passing, her sister Meriem carries forward her dreams, creating a refuge in Rabat, nurturing a close-knit community, and venturing into the polar nights of the Lofoten Islands, where shadow finally becomes light. Asmae El Moudir’s film celebrates a modern-day heroine in a story both intimate and collective.
«A heartbreakingly tender documentary about an often unseen community living with the rare genetic disorder Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), a condition that makes exposure to sunlight potentially life-threatening. Through the filmmaker's intimate relationship with Fatima Zahra and her family, the film gains extraordinary access to years of family history and opens a window into the world of the Children of the Moon Association, founded by Fatima's father, Habib. What emerges is both a deeply personal portrait and a powerful exploration of identity, belonging, and resilience, where the people in it, both those who battle with XP and their families are illuminated by the warmth, humor, determination, and love that define Fatima and her family. It is their passion, courage, and unwavering hope that linger. More than a story about living with limitation, Don't Let the Sun Go Up on You is a moving celebration of what it means to be beautifully human: to build community, embrace joy, and live with kindness in the face of adversity»
