The biggest problem Paul and Audrey have in their lives is that they want a bigger house but can't afford it. Paul's friend Dave ( Jason Sudeikis) sits perched on a box of cookies on the kitchen counter, telling Paul-who hovers over him like a giant-how great it is to live a life of leisure with no financial worries. 'Downsized' communities crop up everywhere, with governments giving tax credit incentives to those who choose to go small.Īn Omaha-based occupational therapist named Paul ( Matt Damon) and his aspirational wife Audrey ( Kristen Wiig) wonder if they should 'go small' after chatting with some friends who took the leap.

Within a couple of years, 'downsizing'-as the procedure is called-has swept the planet. If human beings take up less space, create less of a carbon footprint, make less trash, then perhaps the planet can be saved. The discovery is hailed as a revolution and a possible answer to the climate change emergency. The film takes place in an era not too far in the future when a group of scientists in Norway have figured out a way to shrink human beings into five-inch-tall versions of themselves.
