Die Reise des Personalmanagers

The Human Resources Manager

The Personal Manager of Jerusalem's largest bakery is in serious trouble. His wife has just left him, his daughter is disappointed with him, he hates his job. When a foreign employee dies in a suicide bombing and nobody claims her body, he suddenly has a mission he cannot refuse: he himself has to transport the young woman's coffin back into her home town somewhere in Eastern Europe. Accompanied by a weird vice consul, an enervating reporter, a chauffeur who enjoys his tipples and the dead employee's rebellious son the PM all of sudden finds himself on an absurd journey that eventually leads him back to himself.
