The film centers on a middle-aged Zoo worker, who still lives with her mother in a small coastal town. She is stuck and it seems that life has no surprises for her until one day she grows a tail and turns her life around.

The film is produced by New People Film Company (Russia), Arizona Productions (France) and Moviebrats (Germany).

Clips from the film were presented at the 2015 Les Arcs coproduction village works in progress section. The sales agent said the film already has strong festival premieres lined up for the second half of 2016.

New Europe Film Sales CEO Jan Naszewski said, “I was tracking Zoology for a while. It’s amazing how Ivan captures ordinary people in extraordinary situations with respect and subtle humor at the same time.”
