After his Oscar success with The Whale, Brendan Fraser returns to LFF, starring in Hikari’s rich and heartwarming tale of a struggling American actor searching for a connection in Tokyo.
Looking for any work opportunities in the Japanese capital, Phillip is employed by a ‘rental family’ company, which provides clients with actors who play stand-in roles of absent loved ones. However, things become complicated when the line between performance and reality is increasingly blurred, as Phillip immerses himself a little too much in the roles he is hired to play.
Presented as part of the 69th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
