This programme 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 earner is Shlomo Almaliach. After twenty years of hard and dedicated work at the local bakery, Almaliach is fired without severance compensation. Degrated 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 universal problems of unemployment, pride, stress and the nature of human life.
