PERFECT DAYS

Hirayama is cleaning public toilets in Tokyo. It’s not a dream job, but still the silent elderly gentleman commits to it every day with the utmost care. In his free time, the bachelor dedicates himself to his passion for music, books and his hobby: He photographs the play of light and shade under the trees. Through a string of unexpected encounters, Hirayama’s backstory is revealed. Wim Wenders’ best fiction film in a long time is a moving reflection about humility and the beauty of the mundane.
