62
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:26,720
of roasted chestnuts and mulled.

00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:52,360
smiling faces around her.

68
00:06:52,920 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: Bella tu namisti dipomenova lay ekos vui domv ale t tizinka.

69
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: She was here in the place she once called home,

70
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:08,079
but now she felt like a stranger.

71
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,519

Speaker 3: Marek, her older brother, seemed as calm as always, and Pavel,

76
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:39,240
her cousin, was excited and full of energy, as was

77
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:39,759

00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,519
hand on her shoulder.

92
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:45,919
and painted clowns.

93
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,200

Speaker 1: Jenna zavajla. Jenna hesitated tilla see a levi geto. She

107
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,799
wanted to keep her feelings to herself, but she knew

108
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,799
that couldn't continue. Mosna marek apavel biliki nae lip chi

129
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,480
celebrations and laughter, she began to feel the warmth of home.

00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:48,039
Speaker 1: Uvi do melasiu pricci voisto.

131

her story.

from her heart.

140
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: Attach asmi yenna videla chesna s vui domv and so.

141
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: As they watched the dance and listened to the laughter.
