Synopsis

Hirayama seems utterly content with his simple life as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. Outside of his very structured everyday routine he enjoys his passion for music and for books. And he loves trees and takes photos of them. After his cool niece (Arisa Nakano) comes to stay, he is then confronted by this girl’s mother, his sister, who tells him their father’s dementia is still a problem and seems stunned by what Hirayama does for a living these days. This series of unexpected encounters gradually reveal more of his past.
