Hirayama works as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo and he seems content with his simple life. Outside of his structured routine, he has a great passion for music, books, and the trees he loves to photograph. He drives to work in his minivan, fully equipped with his cleaning gear, while The Rolling Stones, Patti Smith, or Lou Reed ring in ageless, husky hums from a tape player. Through unexpected encounters, more of Hirayama’s past is revealed as he reflects on finding beauty in the world.
