Shrinking - DVD

A process called cellular miniaturisation was developed by Norwegian scientists as one solution to the planet's looming overpopulation. It makes sense: small people eat less and take up less space. And to get people to join the programme in droves and with enthusiasm, it comes with gigantic economic advantages and permanent residence in the mini-millionaire's paradise of Leisureland.
This prospect of getting rich also brings Paul Safranek (Matt Damon) and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) to the programme. Childless forty-somethings with boring jobs and a drab flat, they see no better prospects in life anyway. After an initial interview, the necessary preparation follows (all body hair and fillings must go), and then it's anaesthesia and the miniaturisation itself.
When the 10cm-tall Paul wakes up "on the other side", he learns that Audrey backed out at the last minute. Fortunately, the rich but abandoned Paul isn't left to grieve for long by his new "friends", Serbian playboy Dušan (Christoph Waltz) and a one-legged Vietnamese dissident (Hong Chau). With them, he experiences more in a few weeks than in his entire life so far and realises that even in a small world, you can experience big things.
