Hirayama works as 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. Shibuya, Tokyo. Hirayama, a solitary public toilet cleaner, is a reserved, almost taciturn creature of habit. With his days following a monotonous pattern, Hirayama wakes up at the crack of dawn, performs his usual morning ritual with quiet precision, and off he goes to work in his little blue van after buying a can of coffee from a nearby vending machine. After all, surprise is a rare commodity for him. However, light and shadow coexist. And sometimes, the long-forgotten yesterday emerges when we least expect it. As a late-night encounter disrupts the balance of the gentle restroom attendant's life, even Hirayama must confront the past he has worked so diligently to put aside. Because, when caught up in the daily grind, it's easy to overlook the simple joys around us. Yet, in a world where happiness is ephemeral, it's the small moments that give life meaning. — Nick Riganas Hirayama lives alone in Tokyo and cleans toilets for a living. He has a routine, seemingly dull, uneventful and insular life. Yet he is happy and content, living a simple, undemanding, uncluttered, analogue existence. His balanced demeanor seems unshakable. — grantss
