Desperate times call for desperate measures in this blackly comic satire from South Korean visionary, Park Chan-wook.

After being abruptly laid off after 25 years of service, dedicated employee Man-su is desperate to reclaim his dignity and secure a new position… by any means necessary.

Set in modern-day Tokyo, RENTAL FAMILY follows an American actor (Brendan Fraser) who struggles to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese "rental family" agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers.

As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, 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.
