Synopsis

Fans of Studio Ghibli will know that Japanese animation excels at the fantastical, but this anime from Satoshi Kon also shows skill at handling modern real-world problems. Homeless trio - alcoholic Gin, runaway Miyuki and transvestite Hana - have been brought together by their unfortunate circumstance. When they find a baby on the streets of Tokyo at Christmas, they decide to return it to its real mother - but completing their good deed isn't as simple as they imagined.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
