Recommended for ages 14 to adult

West of Pluto is a snapshot, a day in the life of a small cul-de-sac of suburban Quebec — a seemingly random corner of the world, where ten suburban teens start pretentious garage bands, give class presentations, fall in and out of love, score pot, fight with their parents, throw house parties that spiral out of control, lose their virginity, and go through the quintessential experiences that make adolescence such a churning mix of awkwardness, friendship and petty cruelty.
