Re-screening of the brilliant film by Wim Wenders as part of the Golden Apricot Film Festival Echo.
Movie in original language with subtitles in Russian, Armenian and English.
 
Hirayama seems utterly content with his simple life as a cleaner of toilets 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. A series of unexpected encounters gradually reveal more of his past. A deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the everyday world around us.
 
After the screening, there will be a discussion of the film with a film critic.
