PERFECT DAYS - this 2024 Oscar Best International Feature finalist tells the story of a Hirayama, a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. He seems content with his simple life. He follows a structured everyday life and dedicates his free time to his passion for music and books. Hirayama also has a fondness for trees and photographs them. More of his past is gradually revealed through a series of unexpected encounters. A meditative portrait with an incredible soundtrack as only Director Wim Wenders can portray, a poignant follow up to his well-known incredible documentaries, Bueno Vista Social Club and Pina.
