Working in HR, Fren closely observes people’s lives through interviews with numerous young new hires at her unjust company. No one knows she’s one month pregnant — and quietly grappling with whether to bring a child into this difficult world.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Apart from death, the act of bringing a new life into the world compels us to reflect on the true meaning of life and its connections to family, society, the economy, politics, religion, and science. In the past decade, the decline in birth rates in many parts of the world reflects a shared sentiment of people in this era. Human Resource is a film that explores and captures contemporary human life, the shifting definition of family, and existence in a world that will never be the same again.
