"Tokyo Godfathers" Blu-ray/DVD

A miraculous tale set in winter Tokyo -- Tokyo Godfathers, the heartwarming animated film directed by Satoshi Kon and Shogo Furuya, is now available as a high-quality Blu-ray/DVD set.

The story begins on a snowy Christmas Eve in modern-day Tokyo, when three homeless people find a baby in a garbage dump. Gin, a middle-aged alcoholic, Hana, a transgender woman, and Miyuki, a teenage runaway girl, are forgotten by society, and suddenly, an abandoned baby appears before them. This encounter will change their lives forever.

As the New Year approaches, they join forces to unravel the mystery of an abandoned baby girl and the fate of her parents in Tokyo. A series of seemingly unrelated events and chance encounters leads them to confront their own past traumas and learn how to move forward together into the future.

The film was co-written by Nobumoto Keiko, known for his work on "Cowboy Bebop," and features a fantastical score by Keiichi Suzuki. Combining moving emotion, laughter, and a high level of originality, the film is beloved by many as a masterpiece that depicts the possibility of hope and redemption even in seemingly hopeless situations.

The snowy streets of Tokyo on Christmas Day, the daily lives of the homeless, and their human interactions are depicted in meticulous detail.
