# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Rental Family | Closing Night Gala
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 30 Nov, 2025 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: 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.

Writer-director HIKARI skilfully balances emotional tenderness and offbeat humour in this heartwarming crowd-pleaser, illuminated by a career-best performance from Oscar® winner Brendan Fraser. Complemented with stunning visuals, this filmic love letter to the luminous city of Tokyo also utilises outstanding performances from its ensemble of distinguished Japanese actors, including Takehiro Hira (Shogun) and Mari Yamamoto (Pachinko).
