On a freezing holiday night, three people living on the streets of Tokyo — a gruff middle-aged man, a sharp-tongued trans woman, and a teenage runaway — discover a newborn abandoned in the trash. Determined to find the child's parents, they crisscross the city through a string of wild coincidences, and each detour drags up the family and the mistakes each of them ran away from. It's a shaggy, big-hearted comedy that keeps sneaking up on you with real feeling.
