Tokyo Godfathers
12A

Wed 17 Dec · 18:00
Set in modern-day Tokyo, the annual Friends of HPPH festive special follows three homeless people's lives as they are changed forever when they discover a baby girl at a garbage dump on Christmas Eve. 
Anime • Heartfelt • Critically Acclaimed
Part of Wintertime

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.
