Summertime in a remote Macedonian village. A group of children discover a killed snake by the lake shore. The bully among them - Yovan, picks it and chases the others with it. To protect his friends, Mario throws a stone at Yovan, then climbs to a balcony of a stranger’s house to hide from him. It gets dark, but Yovan has no intention to leave Mario alone. Stuck on the balcony, Mario has no choice but to wait. Suddenly, pink lights flicker over Mario’s face. He approaches the windows and looks inside the house. He sees an eccentric queer man Borche, wearing a hat with strange glimmering horns and a white snake crawling on it. He takes selfies with his phone. He notices Mario at the window when he goes over the photos. When he realizes that Mario is hiding from his bully friend, he walks him home.
