I'm not much of a media consumer, and when I am I find Youtube channels better exemplify the simple living lifestyle (plenty out of Japan). However, every once in a while I stumble upon characters or plots in mainstream media that resonate with my simple living values. Years ago, I truly enjoyed the film Under the Tuscan Sun (though the book was vastly different and superior). More recently, I have been enthralled with the television series Somebody Somewhere.

What series or films do you enjoy that best encapsulate your simple living ideals?

You're asking for the movie "Perfect Days".

Reading the plot, is say you're correct

Well, that’s just.... like... your opinion, man.

Ok, a half serious suggestion.

Trailer Park Boys. Season 1-6 in particular.

The only truly valuable thing is the friendships and connections they make. But I also don't know much about this community other than a very quick glance
