Synopse
In his latest film, Wim Wenders returns to Japan and discovers the transcendence of normal life. Leading actor Kōji Yakusho won Best Actor at Cannes. Hirayama’s life runs in clearly ordered routines. With patient diligence, he performs his work cleaning Tokyo’s public toilets. His private life is also characterized by ritualized procedures, until a series of unexpected encounters disturb the balance of Hirayama’s practised autonomy and reveal the traces of the past behind his calm exterior.
