Next in the Tallahassee Film Society’s Jewish Film Series: “The Human Resources Manager,” winner of 5 Israeli Academy Awards. The HR manager of Jerusalem’s largest bakery is in trouble. He is separated from his wife, distanced from his daughter, and stuck in a job he hates. When one of his employees is killed, 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, the HR manager rediscovers his own humanity and his ability to truly care for human resources.
The film will be shown at All Saints Cinema located at 918 Railroad Avenue as follows: Friday, May 18 – 6 PM, Saturday, May 19 – 5 PM, Sunday, May 20 – 4 PM and 6 PM (sponsored by the Tallahassee Jewish Federation).
