Watched the 2 hours movie 'Perfect Days' a Film by Wim Wenders
Starring Koji Yakusho
Hirayama is content with his simple life cleaning toilets in Tokyo.
Outside of his structured routine he cherishes music, books, and taking photos of trees.
Along the repeated 4 days, unexpected encounters reveal more of his story in a deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the world around us.
The Hero is not fully sad, he is not fully happy, he is in this very balanced state of going from darkness to light just like in his photographic cliche in the forest where he is having lunch.

Very much like Lord of the Ring, or Bilbo the Hobbit except this time it is Heroic fantasy involving moles, hares, badgers lord, and vermin (as orcs)
βWe can't do anything without each other. But it's the greedy ones, the cruel ones, who hold together and strengthen each other. And those who won't join them stand each alone...Nobody can be free alone. Not even a mage. All of them working their magic in prison cells, to gain nothing. There's no way to use power for good.β
-Ursula K. Le Guin, Tales from Earthsea
