Borrowed from a Dani fable narrated in voice‑over, the story tells of a mythic race between a bird and a snake that decided human destiny—whether people would shed skins like snakes and live forever, or die like birds. The bird wins, sealing mortality. The film follows Weyak, a frontier warrior, and Pua, a timid boy under his guard.
