West of Pluto (French: À l'ouest de Pluton) is a Canadian comedy-drama docufiction film, directed by Henry Bernadet and Myriam Verreault and released in 2008.
From waking up through school to an open house , the film puts the viewer in the shoes of the different characters by presenting a selection of typical scenes from teenage life in Quebec.
We see teenagers making oral presentations in class, smoking drugs, discussing existential issues, trying to get beer before the legal age, criticizing social uniformity, partying and making love.
