The movie tells the stories of the last day of school in May 1976 in a Texas suburb. It was shot on location in Austin, Texas. The camera dips in and out of the lives of a variety of students at the school, rather than focusing on a single individual - in a manner reminiscent of, but less extreme than, Linklater's earlier film Slacker, which was likewise shot on location in Austin, Texas.
