The film about finding beauty in the everyday world around us follows Hirayama, who seems utterly content with his simple life as a cleaner of toilets in Tokyo. Outside of his very structured everyday routine he enjoys his passion for music and for books, and he loves trees and takes photos of them. A series of unexpected encounters gradually reveal more of his past.
The film was produced by Koji Yanai for Master Mind (Japan), in collaboration with Spoon Inc (Japan) and Wim Wenders for Wenders Image (Germany).
