A worker in a Jerusalem bakery dies in an attack and the HR manager is tapped to bring her body home to Russia. It turns out to be a picaresque journey with humor, bureaucratic obstructionism, pathos, annoying characters, physical problems...just about every monkey wrench you can think of. After a while I came to expect the unexpected.
Often annoying I eventually fell into the sway of the film and ended up enjoying it...especially the perfectly cast HR guy with his sad sack face, endless patience and air of resigned acceptance of the foibles of those around him.
Offbeat and fun.
