Hirayama seems utterly content with his simple life as a cleaner of toilets in Tokyo. Outside his very structured everyday routine, he enjoys a passion for music and books. He loves trees and takes photos of them. A series of unexpected encounters gradually reveals more of his past in this deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world.
Fresh off Kôji Yakusho's win for Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury for legendary director Wim Wenders, PERFECT DAYS is poised to move Calgary audiences with its ethereal simplicity and stoic beauty.
