Definition of absolute cinema. I think this is one of the most 'cozy' films I've ever watched. It features three homeless people, finding this abandoned child on Christmas eve and they go on an adventure to try and find the baby's parents. It's a wild journey, but also a very wholesome story. The three characters gets very well fleshed out, they have good and bad traits within them, which makes you feel like they're actual real people rather than this one dimensional good guy type trope. All of them get good closure and the events that happens are wild and very unpredictable. Cinema special place in my heart.
