Tokyo Godfathers

On Christmas Eve in Tokyo, Hana, Gin, and Miyuki—three people living on the streets—search through trash for anything that might pass as a gift when they discover an infant left out in the winter cold. Shaken by the sight, Hana’s protective instincts take over, and she pushes the group to track down the baby’s biological mother and demand answers. They name the child Kiyoko, “pure child,” and set off with only a few scraps of evidence: a lone note and a strange key.

What begins as a straightforward search quickly spirals as unexpected incidents derail their plans at every turn. Staying together through hardship and small moments of grace, the trio presses on in hopes of bringing Kiyoko home—and finding a bit of redemption along the way.
