Rental Family Trailer: Brendan Fraser Lands A Unique Gig In Japan
The comedy-drama is set in modern-day Tokyo and follows an American actor (Brendan Fraser) who struggles to find a purpose in life until he lands an unusual job that requires him to work for a Japanese “rental family” agency. He is asked to play stand-in roles for strangers as part of the gig.
As Fraser’s protagonist gets involved in the world of his clients, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality. Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the quiet beauty of human connection.
