contents The Plateau's problem seeks to determine a surface of minimal area which spans a given boundary. It is widely studied for its varied mathematical formulations, applications and relevance to physical models such as soap films. We revisit the problem and study a soap film model in the spirit of capillarity formulations in two dimensions. Our approach introduces a nonlocal geometric potential in the variational length minimization scheme. This incorporates effects of thickness of soap films and provides insight into addressing the so-called collapsing phenomenon and other observable physical phenomena and properties.
