Rental Family is a 2025 American-Japanese comedy-drama film directed by Hikari, starring Brendan Fraser as a down-on-his-luck actor in Tokyo who stumbles into a peculiar line of work — portraying a hired family member for strangers navigating life's most vulnerable moments.

What is Rental Family about?

Marcus, an American actor adrift in Tokyo after his career has stalled, discovers a service that rents out surrogate family members to people who need them — a son for a dying parent, a friend for a funeral, a husband for a difficult occasion. Taking the job out of financial necessity, he begins inhabiting the lives of strangers, playing whatever role the client requires. Through these paid encounters, each brief and bounded by contract, Marcus begins to see what genuine human connection looks like from the outside — and to question what it means to belong somewhere. The film unfolds as a quiet, gently humorous character study set against the rhythms of contemporary Tokyo.

Cast & crew

Brendan Fraser leads the film as Marcus, bringing a bruised warmth to a role that suits his particular brand of earnest vulnerability. Japanese actor Takehiro Hira plays a key figure in the rental company, with Mari Yamamoto, Akira Emoto, and Shino Shinozaki rounding out the ensemble of clients and colleagues who shift Marcus's understanding of family.

Context & significance

For Persian-speaking diaspora viewers, Rental Family resonates on a frequency that transcends its Tokyo setting. The experience of performing belonging — of being the version of yourself that others need — is something many immigrants and exiles know intimately. The film treats loneliness not as a problem to solve but as a condition to observe with compassion and humor. Director Hikari (known for her nuanced storytelling in previous work) brings a cross-cultural eye to the material: an American outsider navigating Japanese social codes mirrors the experience of anyone who has ever felt like a visitor in their own life. The film is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles, making it fully accessible without any language barrier.
