Creating a new world of possibilities, Downsizing (2017) is an American science fiction comedy-drama film directed by Alexander Payne and written by both Payne and Jim Taylor. This revolutionary medical procedure, known as Downsizing, offers an environmentally-friendly option for those seeking economic benefits. When Paul, an occupational therapist with a kind heart, decides to undergo the procedure and enter into this brand-new existence, he faces a choice between living a sheltered life or using his small stature to make an impact in the world. Can he successfully balance saving the planet with maintaining a comfortable lifestyle?
In the future, as overpopulation and global warming continue to be pressing issues, one scientist introduces ‘downsizing’, a process that shrinks people to just five inches tall. In Omaha, where they were facing financial difficulties, Paul and Audrey Safranek crossed paths with Dave and Carol Johnson, who had chosen to downsize. The Johnsons believed that downsizing was not only good for the environment by reducing waste, but also greatly enhanced one’s quality of life and increased the value of their money. Intrigued by the potential benefits, Paul and Audrey decided to downsize as well and relocate to Leisureland in New Mexico – a highly sought after community for those looking to live minimally.
