A gentle, feel-good film that contemplates the beauty of everyday life. A nominee for Best International Feature at the Oscars.
Hirayama (played by Kôji Yakusho, awarded Best Actor at Cannes) seems completely content with his simple life as a public restroom cleaner in Tokyo. Alongside his meticulous daily routine, he enjoys music and books, has a deep love for trees, and captures them on his old point-and-shoot camera. A series of unexpected encounters gradually reveal more about this kind-hearted man’s past.
