An American actor in Tokyo struggles to find purpose in his life until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese ‘rental family’ agency where he plays stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality, and in confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging and the quiet beauty of human connection.

“Brendan Fraser brings goofy charm to this restrained fish-out-of-water comedy.” Sara Merican, Sight and Sound

“A feel-good story to warm you up this holiday season, Rental Family explores loneliness while reaffirming the significance of human connection.” Rotten Tomatoes
