00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: The first flowers of spring colored the edges of the streets,

69
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,079
and the air was mild, a promise of the beautiful

70

77
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,439
Speaker 4: Julian was a talented and passionate painter, but at the

78
00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:41,720
moment he felt trapped.

81
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,639
Speaker 4: His leg, encased in a cumbersome cast, prevented him from

82
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,759
doing what he loved most, painting freely.

00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: A recent accident had immobilized him, and his spirit, thirsty

86
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:16,120
for freedom, was frustrated.

Speaker 4: Clementine, his neighbor, stopped by every day to bring him

90
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,240
warm croissants.

Speaker 4: Clementine was a baker, but she also had a hidden

98
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:52,720
talent for painting.

102
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,879
Speaker 4: One day, Clementine knocked on the door with an idea

103
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,360
in mind.

104
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: Gullien is SiGe de e vectun.

00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 4: The date of the exhibition was approaching and he couldn't

115
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,200
complete the work alone with his immobilized leg.

116

121
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:27,759
Speaker 4: Amiel, Julian's lifelong friend was off and around, bringing tubes

122
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:30,080
of paint and brushes from the grocery store nearby.

123

124
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,399

00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,080
moment to support Julian.

00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 4: One afternoon, as they worked in agreement, the sky suddenly

132
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,919
filled with dark clouds.

00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,240

00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:26,159
carefully creating.

139
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:41,519
Speaker 4: Julian felt discouragement rise within him, angered by seeing his

140
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:43,440
efforts threatened by the fickle weather.

141
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:48,519

152
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:36,240
rekindled by his friends.

160
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,720
was magnificent.
