Rental Family - Cinema matinee

Een Amerikaanse actor lives in Tokyo, where he struggles with the meaning of life. Everything changes when he ends up in an unusual new job: he goes to work for a Japanese agency that hires people to play family members or friends. He takes on diverse roles, from father to husband, and dives into the lives of strangers to fill their emotional void. While he immerses himself in the worlds of his clients, he forges bonds that blur the lines between acting and reality. Confronted with the moral complexity of his work, he rediscovers his life's purpose and the quiet beauty of human connection. After winning the Oscar for best actor in The Whale (2023), the ever-cuddly Brendan Fraser shines again in this infectious mix of humor, drama, and social criticism.
