Tokyo Godfathers











On a Christmas Eve, three Tokyo homeless: A mid-aged alcoholic man named Gin, high school runaway girl named Miyuki, and former drag queen Hana were searching dumpsters and trash bags for possible Christmas gifts for themselves, when cries from a baby drew their attention.


Believing this is a gift from God, Hana, who can't have a baby of "her" own, vowed to take care of the abandoned baby girl and together they began searching for baby's mother while wondering who could have abandoned a baby in a dumpster.


They head for the brighter parts of the city where people are enjoying holiday festivities, looking for the baby's parents.

Their encounters with various people result in adventures that force each of the trio to confront his or her own life, which they've almost thrown away.

No doubt this is one of my favorite movies.
