The story

What Is The Python About?

The premise of The Python without spoilers.

Set in a post‑Soviet Latvian school, this absurdist farce erupts after a revolting prank—someone soils the attic. The authoritarian headmistress orders the building sealed until the culprit is identified, turning the corridors into a surreal battlefield of blame. Chaos ensues when a photographer’s pet python slips free, sending students and staff into wild disarray.
