Perfect Days
February 16 - March 14, 2024
Wim Wenders' (Paris, Texas) new feature follows the life of Hirayama, a toilet cleaner in Tokyo as he goes about his day in this sweet slice-of-life drama. Hirayama is content with his life as a toilet cleaner, and outside of his structured routine he cherishes music on cassette tapes, books, and taking photos of trees. Through unexpected encounters, he reflects on finding beauty in the world. 96th Oscars® Nominee (Best International Feature).
