Kirsten Dirksen, co-founder of faircompanies.com, spends this film visiting people who have shrunk their living space on purpose, on the theory that smaller housing means fewer bills, less debt, and more freedom. Jay Shafer of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company shows off the compact trailer homes he pioneered, while Graham Hill of TreeHugger and LifeEdited talks up a Manhattan apartment reconfigured to do more with less square footage. Felice Cohen has fit her belongings into 90 square feet in New York City, and in France a man named Christian Schallert has converted a cave into a home. The camera moves through Sonoma County, Sausalito, Hawaii, Bordeaux, and Barcelona, finding people living in former garages, tool sheds, river boats, and a converted pigeon coop, each one explaining the tradeoffs of composting toilets, off-grid power, and rooms measured in feet rather than square footage. Architects and builders weigh in on zoning codes that were not written with houses this small in mind. The film treats the movement as a genuine housing experiment rather than a lifestyle trend, letting each owner make the case for why less space adds up to more life.
