Director Alexander Payne's Shrinking is a cinematic experiment of sorts that brings to the fore a range of important themes about human civilization – from issues related to ecology and overpopulation to civil rights, poverty and illegal migration.
It is a social satire in which the main character realizes that his life would be better if he shrunk. Because after the procedure he measures only a modest twelve centimeters in height, which corresponds to only 0.00364 percent of the volume of the human body, his body consumes much less natural resources. This brings him a more leisurely life in an idyllic settlement of diminutive people called Ležerni gaj.
