Tokyo Godfathers starts out with the three main characters watching a nativity play. The main characters include Miyuki, a runaway girl. Gin, a drunk and former bicycle shop owner and Hana a drag queen. The main characters are also homeless.
After the nativity play they leave to find a present Hana found for Miyuki. While searching through the garbage they hear the sound of a baby crying. When they move in to investigate they discover a baby girl who had been abandoned.
Hana immediately feels affection for the baby and even wants to adopt her, but the others talk some sense into Hana, convincing him to give the baby to the police, but during the night he takes off with the baby. Gin and Miyuki find him quickly and they decide to find the babies parents.
Gin, Hana and Miyuki are separated during their search several times. It's either because of an argument or some force that's beyond their control and every step they take into locating the babies parents, is another set back. For instance they save some guy who's stuck under his car, the man thanks them by taking them to a party and the man ends up getting shot and Miyuki get's taken hostage!
We also delve into each characters pasts and see what led them to being homeless (to avoid spoilers I won't post any pictures.) and because this is a Christmas story we do get a lot of miracles. Even though there are a lot of tragic moments in this movie it's still a comedy. It's fun to watch and it's a heartwarming movie.
