In modern-day Tokyo, three homeless people's lives are changed forever when they discover a baby girl at a garbage dump on Christmas Eve. As the New Year fast approaches these three forgotten members of society band together to solve the mystery of the abandoned child and the fate of her parents. Along the way, encounters with the seemingly unrelated events and people force them to confront their own haunted pasts, as they learn to face their future, together.
Heartbreaking, hilarious and highly original, Tokyo Godfathers is a humanist masterpiece from legendary director Satoshi Kon (Paprika, Perfect Blue) and a tale of hope and redemption in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
Tokyo Godfathers was suggested by our members Matt Davies - 'one of the most underrated Christmas films ever from one of the all-time greats' - and Adam Vrijland (supported by Ella Hassett) - 'I absolutely love this film and would relish seeing it on the big screen.'
