All My Mothers plot

The Kurdish women who speak in All My Mothers are introduced on the basis of the number of people they have lost. An old woman tells how she has been waiting for the return of her loved ones for twenty-three years and six months. She lost 30 people in the Iraqi army's attack on the Kurds in the 1980s. With her, there are hundreds of other women waiting. And remember like it was yesterday how the men were called to a "meeting" in Kirkuk and never came back. The women help each other pass the time; by talking, crying, praying and massaging each other. It is not only the older generation that mourns the deceased men. The younger women miss their fathers and brothers and realize that the chances of marriage are slim as there are hardly any young men left in the village.
