Public Toilet is a 2002 movie by Hong Kong director Fruit Chan, his first in digital format.
The story revolves around a Beijing man, "Dong-dong", who was born in a public toilet. To look for his past, he searches lavatories around the world.
Chan was inspired by the terrible quality of public toilets in mainland China while filming Durian Durian (2000), which served as the concept for Public Toilet.[1]
Chan shot digital video for the film at the request of the investor, Digital Nega.
