Hirayama trivs med sitt liv som toalettstädare i Tokyo. Hans vardag är oerhört strukturerad, men han förgyller den genom sitt passionerade musik- och litteraturintresse. Varje kväll läser han ett kapitel ur en William Faulkner-novell. Han älskar träd och fotograferar dem. När en rad oväntade händelser skakar om hans välordnade liv, så avslöjas hans förflutna, bit för bit. En av årets mest berörande feel-good-filmer och ett skimrande porträtt av staden Tokyo. <br/><br/>Japans Oscarbidrag är en djupt mänsklig reflektion över att finna skönhet i vardagen
