American actor Phillip Vanderploeg lives in Tokyo and constantly searches for work following his success in a toothpaste commercial seven years earlier. He is stuck taking minor roles until he is hired by Rental Family, a company that provides actors to play stand-in family members and friends for strangers. Initially reluctant due to its seemingly absurd premise, Phillip, desperate for funds, takes the job after the company's owner, Shinji, insists that they need a "token white guy". This is a sweet natured comedy drama about artificial and genuine human connections. (2025, certificate 12, 1 hour 45 minutes).
