Goodbye Mothers is a Moroccan film directed by Mohamed Ismaïl. Set-up in Casablanca, the movie depicts the fate of Moroccan Muslim and Jewish families during the exodus of the Jews of Morocco in the beginning of the 1960s. The plot inspires itself from the tragic sinking of the Pisces (renamed Egoz), when 44 Moroccan Jews who were clandestinely emigrating to Israel lost their lives.
