The Python

The Python

(Pitons), Laila Pakalnina / LOT, 2003
Latvian version / English subtitles, 88 min

The story is invented but based on real events. An accident has happened in an average post-Soviet time school in Latvia. Somebody has defecated in the attic. The tyrant of the school, the Headmistress, starts to investigate the disturbance. Nobody shall leave the school before the guilty one is found. The real hustle and bustle begins, when the Photographer’s python disappears in the school. The absurd drama reveals how two snakes – the real one and the Headmistress – can be found in one school.
