This is a film about a father, his son, and the grandfather. Well, no, actually it's just about the father.
Claustrophobic and anxious, Zoology is about a young father, John, who carries with him memories of a not so pleasant childhood, and a longing to give his son, Jacob, a better one. Lost in his domestic setting, idyllic scenarios are always underlined by darker thoughts, and a looming anxiety that can't be squashed by medication.
