Love is a business at Family Romance, a company that rents human stand-ins for any occasion. Founder Yuichi Ishii helps make his clients’ dreams come true.

As much as I love Herzog and his particular guerilla film style, this one left me cold. I've been in Japan and can totally believe that someone would hire a father of the bride. The characters are not quite believable.
