In Japan, there’s a real business where you can rent a family — a paid service where actors step in as parents, partners, or friends so people don’t have to face life alone. There are reportedly nearly 300 of these companies across the country offering these services.
Rental Family follows an American actor in Tokyo who takes a job at one of these agencies and unexpectedly forms real emotional bonds with the people he’s hired to support. It’s a story about loneliness, identity, and the surprising places where connection can appear.
Rental Family, starring Brendan Fraser and directed by HIKARI, is playing in theaters everywhere. Get tickets now!
