On a beautiful morning a little girl crawls out her little house at the edge of the Cambodian jungle. Very slowly and with some reluctance she walks up to her water buffalo and hangs her backpack on his horns. When she sits down in his neck the leave for school together.
On their way to school her classmates pass by on their bike. The girl comes from a poor family and gets bullied by her classmates, who come from wealthy surroundings, regularly, on her way to school as well as in class. This constant bullying behavior at school works very much on the mind of her best friend, the water buffalo.
One day the bullying becomes so bad the water buffalo loses his mind, and storms into the school building. In all his anger he trips everything and everyone, which results in a classroom and kids covered in paint. After the teacher fainted, the kids start giggling and laughing, after a while they all start throwing and dancing around with paint.
When the little girls gets ready for school the next morning, her classmates stop unexpectedly at her house. Instead of bullying her they smile and wave at her. Finally they all get on the water buffalo and ride to school together.
