Synopsis

Should cars now come with matching lipsticks? Why is the number of left-handers increasing? And where are all the tattoo boutiques?

Microtrends is the story of the small groups that are causing big changes in our lives today. It’s about how different we are to each other, and how wrong our own expectations can be. And how the end of uniformity could actually be the answer to our problems…
