Tokyo Godfathers
Meet the ultimate dysfunctional family.
Directed by Satoshi Kon
Produced by Madhouse, Sony Pictures
A compassionate, genre-blending journey through Tokyo's margins that finds grace and connection amid homelessness and brokenness, anchored by the redemptive power of caring for a vulnerable life.
On Christmas Eve, three homeless people living on the streets of Tokyo discover a newborn baby among the trash and set out to find its parents.
