Story Transcript:

Hr: Ivana se probudila u zoru.
En: Ivana woke up at dawn.

Hr: Sunce polako izlazi iznad Plitvičkih jezera, a zrake svjetlosti nježno obasjavaju park prepun jesenjeg lišća.
En: The sun slowly rose above Plitvička jezera, and the rays of light gently illuminated the park filled with autumn leaves.

Hr: Njene misli su kod obitelji.
En: Her thoughts were with her family.

Hr: Danas je poseban dan.
En: Today is a special day.

Hr: Danas će doći Marko i Luka.
En: Today, Marko and Luka will come.

Hr: Ivana živi u Zagrebu, ali često razmišlja o svojim bratom blizancem Markom i starijim Lukom.
En: Ivana lives in Zagreb, but she often thinks about her twin brother Marko and their older brother Luka.

Hr: Prošle su godine, a njih trojica rijetko se viđaju.
En: Years have passed, and the three of them rarely see each other.

Hr: Ivana želi vratiti te dane kada su bili nerazdvojni.
En: Ivana wants to bring back those days when they were inseparable.

Hr: "Moramo imati obiteljsku vezu," pomislila je Ivana dok je hodala prema velikom Slapu.
En: "We must maintain the family connection," Ivana thought as she walked towards the big waterfall.

Hr: Ona zna da su Marko i Luka malo zategnuti.
En: She knows that Marko and Luka are a bit tense.

Hr: Marko je tvrdoglavi poslovni čovjek, a Luka sanjivi umjetnik.
En: Marko is a stubborn businessman, while Luka is a dreamy artist.

Hr: Njihovi su svjetovi različiti.
En: Their worlds are different.

Hr: Svi troje susreli su se na ulazu u park.
En: All three met at the park entrance.

Hr: "Zaista je lijepo ovdje," reče Luka, dok su zlatni i crveni listovi šuškali pod njihovim korakom.
En: "It really is beautiful here," said Luka, as the golden and red leaves rustled under their steps.

Hr: "Predivno je", složio se Marko, iako s rezervom.
En: "It's wonderful," agreed Marko, albeit with some reservation.

Hr: Dok su hodali, Ivana je osjećala napetost među braćom.
En: As they walked, Ivana felt the tension between the brothers.

Hr: No, odlučna je bila: danas će razgovarati.
En: However, she was determined: today, they would talk.

Hr: Dolazili su do velikog Slapa.
En: They were approaching the large waterfall.

Hr: Na tlu su se gomile lišća presijavale na suncu, a voda je padala u tirkizno jezero.
En: Piles of leaves shimmered in the sun, and the water fell into the turquoise lake.

Hr: "Stigli smo do najboljeg mjesta," reče Ivana s osmijehom.
En: "We've reached the best spot," said Ivana with a smile.

Hr: "Vrijeme je da razgovaramo.
En: "It's time to talk."

Hr: "Svi su sjeli na drvenu klupu, pogled im je bio na vodi.
En: They all sat on a wooden bench, their gaze fixed on the water.

Hr: Ivana je duboko udahnula.
En: Ivana took a deep breath.

Hr: "Sjećate se kad smo bili djeca i vozili bicikle po selu?
En: "Do you remember when we were kids and rode bikes around the village?"

Hr: "Marko i Luka se nasmijaše.
En: Marko and Luka laughed.

Hr: "Uvijek si padala," reče Luka.
En: "You always fell," said Luka.

Hr: "I uvijek ste me podigli," odgovori Ivana sjetno.
En: "And you always picked me up," replied Ivana nostalgically.

Hr: "Uvijek smo bili zajedno.
En: "We were always together.

Hr: Zajedno smo jači.
En:...
