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.

Showtime is 8:00, so let's have dinner at 6:30 at Oishii, in the same shopping center. If you just want to join us for the movie, please say so in the comments. Same if you just want to come have dinner and not watch the movie, which is OK too! After the movie, we'll still probably stand around and discuss for a bit.
