Rental Family

Our Select strand presents Rental Family, a quietly moving drama exploring loneliness, belonging and the fragile connections that shape our lives. Inspired by the real-life Japanese service that allows people to “rent” family members, the film follows a man hired to fill emotional gaps in the lives of strangers. As he steps into the roles of son, brother and companion, the boundaries between performance and genuine connection begin to blur. Tender, thoughtful and gently humorous, Rental Family offers a poignant reflection on modern isolation and the universal desire to feel seen, valued and loved.
