We study the behaviour of fractional Sobolev spaces Hs(Ωε) with s∈(0,1/2) defined on ``thin films'' Ωε=ω× (0,ε) in \mathbb Rd, and prove that they tend to the space Hs+\frac12(ω) as ε→ 0. This is made precise by using a notion of dimension-reduction convergence, with respect to which suitably scaled Gagliardo seminorms define equicoercive functionals. Asymptotic results are proved for s→ 0+ and s→ 1/2-.
