The Flowers of Kirkuk

Summary Both Sherko (S) and Mokhtar (M) are in love with Najla (N). She is with S while M works in the dictator's police. N had just finished her medical studies in Rome, but intended to go on and becoming a specialized doctor until when she receives a letter from S saying that she must forget him. She returns to Iraq and finds S after much difficulty. He has concealed a number of sick or injured fugitives in a house but can give them neither treatment nor even cleanliness. He says that she can be shot just for meeting him. M had followed her trail and the police arrests both N and S. After N gets beaten up, a friendly officer tells her that she had done a very great service by finding S. He had already posted a report according to which she voluntarily came and wanted to work for the police. She accepts the work as a police doctor, not because of cowardice but because she can collect and pass on information to the police about those who are murdered or tortured. She stops an execution of women and children by fabricating that a child had signs of cholera and soldiers could die. Eventually M helps N and S escape, and at the frontier he distracts the guards. When caught he takes the full responsibility for the escape. He is shot. When N learns that, she returns and is also shot. Then S is alone. View more details
