Ways to Stay Warm: Cold Weather & Great Coats

Details About the Film

This film is part of the series Ways to Stay Warm

On Christmas Eve, a middle-aged alcoholic, a transgender woman, and a runaway tween find an abandoned baby in a Tokyo dumpster. Swaying between the disastrous and the miraculous, anime auteur Satoshi Kon imbues his trademark surrealism with the happy-sad neo-realism and beloved magic of Chaplin-style slapstick.
