The Human Resources Manager (Shlichuto Shel HaMemune Al Mashabei Enosh)
(login to rate)
A human resources manager considers all aspects of his employees’ well-being, even in unforeseen circumstances. THE HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER is the sadly amusing tale of one such person in Jerusalem’s biggest bakery who goes way beyond the call of duty. About to leave for the day, he is summoned to the owner’s office. One of the bakery workers—a Russian immigrant—has just been found, killed by a suicide bomber, with a corporate pay stub in her pocket. However, she no longer seems to be on the payroll. How can the corporation have lost track of her? The HR Manager investigates. Soon he’s off on an unwelcome emotional and professional journey. Since her belligerent teenage son is too young to sign for her burial, the resourceful HR Manager straps her coffin to the roof of a beat-up van. Together with the boy, a consular representative, and a really irritating investigative reporter, he travels 1,000 kilometers across Russia to the woman’s village. Guilt-ridden over time unspent with his own family, he’s determined to at least manage this scenario effectively. (In Hebrew, Russian, and English with subtitles) –B.B.
