Downsizing

Downsizing

A few more years and our planet will not be able to tolerate so many people on it. We destroy the Earth, we only make it worse. Norwegian scientists have come up with an incredible way to fight overpopulation - they propose to reduce a part of people by creating a miniature world for them. An ordinary married couple Paul and Audrey decide to exchange their routine life for a new perspective. It is obvious that after this experiment their destinies will change once and for all, they must give up everything they have for the sake of the unknown new. Everything goes well for Paul, he wakes up after the operation in miniature and immediately receives a call from his beloved - she has decided to stay in the ordinary world. This is a heavy blow for Paul, and now he alone has to get used to the new. It turns out that we are surrounded by so much beauty that we do not see.
