Original Score composed by Cyril Morin
(The Syrian Bride, Cry in Silence, Cartouche)
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 female employees, a foreign worker, is killed in a suicide bombing and her body remains unclaimed, the bakery is accused of inhumanity and indifference. He is sent on a mission to make things right and embarks on a complex journey, beginning in the streets of Jerusalem and continuing in a post-Soviet country.
Questions of morality, dignity, identity, nationality and belonging are subtly explored in sometimes hallucinatory prose backed by the interlacing of Cyril Morin´s clever use of traditional instruments. His stirring pieces perfectly capture the mood of the film and enhance the story with emotion that stays with the viewer long after the film is over.
THE HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER won 5 Awards for Best Soundtrack, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress and Best Feature at the Ophir Awards Ceremony in Jerusalem on September 21, 2010 and will be the film to represent Israel at the American Academy Awards 2011.
