Admittedly, we all dream of one day making enough money to be able to afford a nice house, a nice car and everything else that goes with these. A new documentary proposes we forget about the big house.

As we also noted a couple of years ago, the McMansions trend is a reality today in the US – and everywhere else in the world as well.

“Tiny: A Story About Living Small” proposes a new approach to the concept of housing: live small and you will see how the entire world around you will get bigger because of it.

Not only will you experience a bigger sense of freedom, but you will also spend less and, just as important, have a smaller impact on the environment in all senses possible.

In a context in which lots of emphasis is placed on our world's finite resources, “Tiny” is just the thing to give us a wake-up call.

The documentary will be out in limited release this spring but, if you want to get an idea of the tiny houses phenomenon, check out the trailer above – and then head over here to pre-order a copy of the DVD.
