RENTAL FAMILY | Building a New Family Featurette

The most unconventional family film of the year isn’t about blood — it’s about belonging.
In this Rental Family featurette, the filmmakers explore Japan’s emotional “family rental” industry, blending satire with profound empathy.

Director Hikari and the cast discuss how loneliness and connection shape the film’s offbeat heart — and why chosen families matter more than ever.
