Get in the holiday spirit with Satoshi Kon’s breathtaking anime marvel. Based loosely on The 3 Godfathers, this tender tale of three people on the margins of society coming to the aid of a helpless abandoned infant is the inclusive, holiday heartwarmer everyone can rejoice in. When a drunk, a runaway, and a trans woman come across a baby girl at the garbage dump on Christmas Eve, they must band together to solve a mystery, reunite the child with her family, and confront the ghosts from their own pasts. With an astonishing beauty of both animation and spirit, Tokyo Godfathers is easily Satoshi Kon’s most touching film, and an incredible feat of both art and heart.
