Synopsis
Fans of Studio Ghibli will know that Japanese animation excels at the fantastical, but this anime from Satoshi Kon also shows skill at handling modern real-world problems. Homeless trio - alcoholic Gin, runaway Miyuki and transvestite Hana - have been brought together by their unfortunate circumstance. When they find a baby on the streets of Tokyo at Christmas, they decide to return it to its real mother - but completing their good deed isn't as simple as they imagined.
