Bread

'BREAD' Tells the story of a family living in a remote town in the southern, arid part of Israel. The head of the family and its bread-winner is Shlomo Almaliach. After twenty years of hard and dedicated work at the local bakery, Almaliach is fired without severance compensation. Degraded and hurt, Almaliach returns home and shuts himself up together with his family. 'Bread' is more than the story of a family on the fringes of the Israeli society. It is a commentary on the universal problems of unemployment, pride, stress and the nature of human life.
