The Human Resources Manager of Jerusalem’s largest bakery is in trouble–he’s separated from his wife, distanced from his daughter, and stuck in a job he hates. When an employee is accidentally killed, the bakery is accused of indifference, and he’s sent to the victim’s Romanian home to make amends.

Narrowing and sustaining focus to its protagonist’s gradual enlightening, Israel’s Eran Riklis follows up his celebrated The Syrian Bride with The Human Resources Manager. At times a subtle, attentive character study, and elsewhere a strikingly eccentric comedy.
