In this animated feature from Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue, Paprika), three homeless people’s lives are changed forever when they discover a baby girl at a garbage dump on Christmas Eve.

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.
