Three homeless characters find an abandoned baby girl while searching through a bin on Christmas Eve. They decide to track down her parents only to encounter a variety of obstacles – not least a hitman and his wife – and are forced to confront the reasons they found themselves on the streets in the first place. Separated from their own families during this festive period, the trio cope by forming their own pseudo-family, in this extraordinary anime comedy-drama from the hugely talented Satoshi Kon.
