β¦ Synopsis
Now an award-winning feature film The Human Resources Manager Β A suicide bomb explodes in a Jerusalem market. One of the victims is a migrant worker without any papers, only a salary slip from the bakery where she worked as a night cleaner. As her body lies unclaimed in the morgue, her employers are labelled unfeeling and inhuman by a local journalist. The manager of human resources is given the task of discovering who she was and why she had come to Jerusalem. Β As the image of this once-beautiful dead woman begins to obsess him, the manager turns this duty into a personal mission β he is no longer just saving his companyβs reputation by trying to discover her identity and assure her of a dignified funeral. He is now restoring her not only to her family and country but also to common humanity β whilst at the same time conquering the hardness of his own heart.
