Petting Zoo (2015) (original) (raw)
While Boyhood�s Texas is awash with pop songs, suburbs and perpetual summer, Petting Zoo offers a Texas no less alluring but with dilapidated cars in yards, feral cats and wild unsupervised childhoods. Layla is 17 years of age, comfortable with her body, bright in school and mature beyond her years, except when it comes to knowing what to do with her life, or boys for that matter. When she becomes pregnant, her estranged parents refuse to consent to an abortion (a requirement for under-18s) and so she is forced to have the baby � a decision that looks set to dictate her future.
