Abstract:
A suicide bomber blows himself up in a Jerusalem market. A woman dies. It was foreign, lived alone in a squalid shack with a religious neighborhood. Nobody goes to claim his corpse to the mortuary of the Mount Scopus. Yet Julia Regajev yet formally a job as a cleaner in a large bakery in the city. An unscrupulous journalist uses the case to baste a scandal and denounces the 'inhumanity' of the company, which has not even noticed the absence of the employee.
It is for the human resources manager, sent on mission by the elderly owner of the bakery, trying to undo the damage of the image. But the journey to the burial of the compassionate woman reveals to him more important than a window dressing in public opinion. For a character of Joshua, being responsible does not mean to be guilty, but also actively carry the weight of a moral imperative. Thus the human resource manager learns that even a small fault, such as that have stained his company must not be overlooked, because even small faults can have a terrible power.
Happy reading!
