Hirayama wakes up every day to the same routine: cleaning public toilets in Tokyo.His life should be terrible – and yet he finds a quiet joy in his days: in trees, music, books, the sky.Described by the Guardian as “an achingly lovely tale” this film argues for a simple, pared-down life without the hectic digital hubbub and endless distractions of modern life.Hirayama is a truly happy man, at peace with himself and his world – and the film explores what makes him this way.A cinematic gem.
