The Human Resources Manager follows the troubled life of the human resources manager of Israel’s largest industrial bakery, who sets out to save the reputation of his business by preventing the publication of a defamatory article.
The article stemmed from an incident in which one of his employees, a foreign worker, was killed in a suicide bombing. The bakery is accused of indifference, and the HR manager is sent to the victim's hometown in Romania to make amends. Far from home, on a mission to honor a woman he didn't even know but has somehow grown to admire, he fights to regain his company's reputation - and possibly his own humanity. Directed by Eran Riklis,The Human Resources Manager was nominated for Best Director, Best Film, and Best Screenplay at the Israeli Academy Awards in 2010; it received the Audience Award at the Locarno Film Festival in 2010.
