Set in modern-day Tokyo, Rental Family follows an American actor (Brendan Fraser) struggling to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese "rental family" agency. As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality.

This feelgood comedy-drama is about an actual service in Japan that supplies actors who perform as bit players in everyday people’s lives.
