This episode is about the Oscar-nominated film Perfect Days from director Wim Wenders. The film follows the simple, quiet and daily routine of Hirayama, a man in Tokyo who cleans unique toilets designed by architects, dotted throughout the city. The music in this film is central to the film, giving us a glimpse into the unexpressed sides of Hirayama; the person he is, and maybe even the young man he once was.
