The necessity to slow down and admire.
A foreign language film without any interesting plots , just the protagonist going on with his daily repetitive life cleaning toilets, not speaking much to anyone.
This apparently really doesn't have much to offer from today's standard dominated by fast pace events and low attention spans to be commercially likeable. Yet, deep down, it feels so much like a much needed gust of fresh air.
It emphasises on the need to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the little things around us and find content in our daily life, the perfection in the imperfections. And even subtly leaving us with a dilemma whether the so called perfect days are actually completely perfect.
Always a fan of movies that shows more than tell. And this is a masterclass in that respect. The lead character conveys so much just with his expressions and body language - those little nods and smiles , gleaming eye gestures; that speaks more than words/dialogues ever could.
Even the slow repetitive events never really felt monotonous , but powerful and liberating in a sense. Also the thin line between being alone and lonely is aptly explored.
Next time is next time. Now is now.
