Europe Becomes Smaller - Again?

Emotional and pop-cultural documentary about an apparent perfunctory fad which seems to be much more than a mode. It follows protagonists all over Europe in their clash of body images.

In recent years, people have championed movements advocating for body acceptance. These movements now face new challenges. Ozempic and various slimming injections, are set to flood the market. With an increasing number of individuals also opting for surgical weight reduction, the landscape of body image is shifting dramatically.

For some, like the former plus-size model Tanja Marfo, it’s a game-changer. With a thinner body, she now can live a life with more happiness. For others, the side effects lead to depression. Europe Becomes Smaller - Again? as six-episode serial for social media and digital platforms answers the questions: Do the treatments show a backlash? A solution to rising obesity? And is our world changing into a more conservative, traditional one?
