Overview

Hirayama is content with his life as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. 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.

Perfect Days

Perfect Days is about finding grace in routine, beauty in banality, and healing through quiet existence. It's not for everyone — slow and sparse by design — but if you surrender to its pace, it’s a soul-nourishing experience. A film that watches you back, in silence.

Did you watch it already? Curious how it hit you emotionally — it's one of those that can mean very different things depending on your state of mind.
