The Christmas lights have been switched on in Castle Street, you hear "Wonderful Christmastime" in every shop—it's that time of year again. But, if the festive spirit hasn't yet taken hold, join us for New Dot Cinema's next screening: Tokyo Godfathers—a Christmas film but not as we know it.
A classic of Japanese anime, Tokyo Godfathers begins on Christmas Eve...three homeless people, Gin, a middle-aged alcoholic, Miyuki, a teenage runaway and Hana, a transsexual former drag queen Hana have formed an unlikely, makeshift family on the streets of Tokyo. While rummaging in dustbins for food they find an abandoned newborn baby. With only a handful of clues to the baby's identity, the three misfits try to solve the mystery of the abandoned baby and returning her to her parents. Along the way, encounters with seemingly unrelated events and people force them to confront their own haunted pasts, as they learn to face their future, together.
