Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire, Paris, Texas) really doesn’t have to prove his unique ability to celebrate the small things in life anymore, and yet he does with Perfect Days! He takes us on a journey in Tokyo through the eyes of cleaner Hirayama, who has a passion for beautiful trees. A peaceful film with an appreciation for music, daily routines, and the pretty surroundings we usually take for granted.

Hirayama 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. A deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.
