Synopsis

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 one of his employees, a foreign worker, is killed in a suicide bombing and the bakery is accused of inhumanity and indifference, the HR Manager is sent on a mission to make things right.

As the facts unfold he embarks on a complex journey, beginning in the mystical streets of Jerusalem and continuing in a frozen Post-Soviet country. The Manager finds himself leading an awkward convoy to the dead woman's village including her rebellious son, a pesky journalist determined to ruin him, a quirky consul, an old veteran driver and a coffin.

Far from home, on a mission to honor a woman he didn't even know but has somehow grown to admire, the HR Manager rediscovers his own humanity and his ability to truly care for human resources.
