00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Celebre Etien, a freelance photographer full of dreams, had settled

61
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,199
in a chic cafe on the first floor of a

62
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,959
famous skyscraper.

65
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:50,759
view of the awakening city.

66
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:59,399
Speaker 1: Etienne monsieur ton so cei grem barcour re ded proge futo.

67
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: Etien, sipping his cafe, Crame was mulling over ideas for

68
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,079
his next photography project.

69
00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: Nesson Naton sien fibrusque monque de la.

70
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,319
Speaker 3: But his attention was abruptly captured by someone sitting a

71
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:21,439
few tables away, La Rouisson.

00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,759
Speaker 3: The resemblance was striking. This man was surely the famous

74
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,480
actor everyone admired.

75
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:42,439

80
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: The cafe was crowded during this Easter season, with joyful

81
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,399
discussions and the clinking of cups forming a harmonious background noise.

82
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:20,879
Speaker 1: Etienne diescre agistas sonatai futu pre caturisdur.

86
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: But the supposed actor, seemingly sensing something, kept averting his

87
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:49,480
gaze and feigning an indifference that would frustrate the most

88
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:50,720
patient of photographers.

89
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:58,439
Speaker 1: Curi e Marc Lisni di tien riye sou capon Le sen.

90
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:03,879
Speaker 3: Chloe and Mark Etienne's friends chuckled quietly as they observed

91
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,279
the scene.

92
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,439
Speaker 1: Dont d' brouchet siegirate Purien sourier.

Speaker 1: Etiennisita ne pri de courage seu louvais.

95
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: Etienne hesitated, but with new found courage, stood up.

Speaker 1: Y sinn jent poorpessi parasa du volatable Denice terieu souzi.

97
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: He arranged to accidentally pass by the table of the

98
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,440
mysterious lookalike.

99
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:44,519
Speaker 1: Bonjour, l'ensei etiene tontetive mella drate de conversescien.

Speaker 2: Hello.

101
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: Etienne ventured a clumsy attempt at conversation.

102
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 5: L'ame le vais.

103
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,759

104
00:08:56,639 --> 00:08:59,519

105
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: Ttien exets photografi.

106
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: Atien timidly explained his passion for photography.

107
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:16,919
Speaker 1: La co nisson lettamusi mene fieri de sisten.

108
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: The stranger seemed amused, but did nothing to confirm Aten's suspicions.

109
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:28,879
Speaker 1: Finand mont etienne prison dum epose christ.

110
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 3: Finally, Atien mustered the courage to ask the burning question.

111
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:41,639
Speaker 1: La ree soon de l fit il ceta de rier.

112
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,519
Speaker 3: The man's reaction was immediate. He burst into laughter.

00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:55,399
Speaker 1: Voyen laconcreten u panche la verti gene.

114
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,799
Speaker 3: Seeing Aten's confusion, he leaned in and revealed the truth.

115
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,000
I'm just an impersonator de.

Speaker 1: Son vises citierradur sence.

119
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,480

130
00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:20,480
but also a valuable lesson.

these unexpected and joyful moments.
