It’s Christmas Eve and three homeless characters find an abandoned baby while searching through a bin. They decide to try and track down her parents, along the way encountering setbacks, not least a hitman and his wife, and are forced to confront the reasons they ended up living on the street. It’s an extraordinary anime comedy-drama from the hugely talented Satoshi Kon.
