Shinjuku Midnight Baby (2016)

Secret auctions have been held for decades in Shinjuku, Tokyo, where people buy and sell babies. These exclusive gatherings portray the selfishness and greediness of the various people who come to buy or sell. The film also focuses on minorities and the disabled who are championed by Minister Machiko and the people in her orbit. Lovers Akira, Machiko's son, and Toru, one of her political supporters, decide to undertake the first same-sex marriage in Japan, despite a rigidly enforced legal ban on gay marriage. They are guided through this political and emotional minefield by Masaru, a hard-of-hearing lawyer who stands firmly behind them. Edit Translation
