Three homeless people & a baby are the unlikely heroes of Satoshi Kons heartfelt third feature. On Christmas Eve, an alcoholic hobo, a transvestite & a runaway teen discover an abandoned infant in a dumpster. They set about returning her to the mother over one very eventful night. Unlike the topsy-turvy of Kons previous works, Tokyo Godfathers tells a straightforward story from the edge of society, with eccentric characters that are more realistic than those of most live-action films.
