Tokyo Godfathers

Three homeless friends, Gin, an alcoholic former professional bicycle racer, Hana, a transvestite, and Miyuki, a young runaway girl, live together in Tokyo. On Christmas Eve, the three discover an abandoned newborn in the trash. Hana, who would like to be a mother, convinces the others to keep the baby girl overnight. The next day, with a key found with the baby, they start tracking down her parents. Many adventures ensue as their rescue of the baby, attempts to take care of her, and quest to reunite her with her family draw them ever closer together. The adventure eventually proves to be a catalyst that inspires each of them to look inward to find what's worthy and resilient within themselves.
