Hirayama, a contemplative middle-aged man lives a life of modesty and serenity, spending his days balancing his job as a dutiful caretaker of Tokyo’s numerous public toilets with his passion for music, literature and photography. As we join him on his structured daily routine, a series of unexpected encounters gradually begin to reveal a hidden past that lies behind his otherwise content and harmonious life. A welcome return to fiction feature filmmaking from Wim Wenders (Paris, Texas, Wings of Desire). Nominated for the Best International Film award at the Oscars and Winner of the Best Actor award at Cannes 2023.
