Screening at Cinema by Velotel
Hirayama cleans public toilets in Tokyo. He seems perfectly content with his simple, secluded life and, away from his highly structured daily routine, devotes himself to his passion for music, which he listens to on audio cassettes, and for literature, which he reads every evening in second-hand paperbacks. Through a series of unexpected encounters, a past that he has long since left behind gradually comes to light.
PERFECT DAYS is a deeply moving and poetic reflection on the beauty of the everyday world and the uniqueness of every human being.
