Rental Family directed by Hikari follows an American actor living in Tokyo whose career and sense of identity have quietly stalled. Searching for direction he accepts an unconventional job with a Japanese rental family agency where clients hire actors to temporarily fill emotional roles such as husbands, sons, or friends. What begins as performance gradually evolves into something deeply personal as he steps into the intimate lives of strangers witnessing loneliness, healing, and unspoken longing. Through these borrowed relationships he begins to rediscover purpose empathy and a renewed understanding of belonging. The film delicately explores authenticity within performance, revealing how even staged connections can lead to genuine emotional transformation.
