Wim Wenders crafts this melodic story about Hirayama - a man who cleans public toilets in Tokyo.  While he lives his day to day life in peace and tranquility, he has  experiences which cause him to reflect on himself.  Koji Yakusho delivers an informed performance as Hirayama, our primary player in a predominantly Japanese cast.

As our discussion unfolds, we realized just how many layers there was to this story.  Pleasant surprise.

Then, I give you a recipe for honey BBQ sauce that uses 3 different honeys.  That's because I am a giver.
