Wim Wenders’ (Paris, Texas, Wings of Desire) highly anticipated return to fiction feature filmmaking takes the writer-director to Tokyo to tell a story celebrating the hidden joys and minutiae of Japanese culture.

Hirayama, a contemplative middle-aged man, lives a life of modesty and serenity, spending his days balancing his job as a dutiful caretaker of Tokyo’s numerous public toilets with his passion for music, literature and photography.

As we join him on his structured daily routine, a series of unexpected encounters gradually begin to reveal a hidden past behind his otherwise harmonious life.
