49
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: The cabin in the Kajia Mountain stood calmly under a

50
00:05:58,079 --> 00:05:59,000
layer of white snow.

00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:07,600

53
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,560
the scent of pine spread through the air.

00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,879
Speaker 1: Uvnit bilo pimne pro ale atmos fera bira na pieta.

55

Speaker 1: Scho os petia ni sitkaani.

57
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,040

Speaker 1: Ya coop na sterchize sorosensu, said yel nadrevine booze aziral dogne.

59
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 3: Yakoop. The oldest of the siblings sat on the wooden couch,

60
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:45,839
staring into the fire.

61
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: Si kilchiu ochkavai na svihrameno.

62
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 3: He felt the weight of expectations on his shoulders.

00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: Chiel bitchim gudo darodinu's novodro.

Speaker 1: Vazizna men airogino te pro aradost.

Speaker 1: Le mesiginnim a erosu rosen sito bioine.

69
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,279
Speaker 3: But between him and his siblings it was different.

70
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Terrezo Zachalia kup gricero sestra po sagui la vedagne.

71
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: Bereza Yakup began as his sister sat down next to him.

72
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: Musi masipromlovit.

73
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,079
Speaker 3: We need to talk on as of.

Speaker 1: Chem so semesina miguelo teresa prosnich trikivla.

75
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:53,399

76
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:54,240
middle child.

77
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,199
Speaker 1: Nodded, pofnirokisna gi labit miro tvorkini.

78
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:03,439
Speaker 3: For all those years she had tried to be the peacemaker.

00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:11,879
Speaker 1: Ya vim yeah, kube I know yakuba Musi alzapit ivatslava

82
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:28,199
Speaker 3: But we also need to include Datlava vautslav. The youngest,

83
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,000
lost among their expectations, always felt outside the family circle.

84
00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: Sadie kna asledoval padai TiVo.

85
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: He sat quietly by the window, watching the falling snowflakes.

86
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,399
Speaker 1: Yea cuprosdo pripravim spezzia niva noze.

87
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: Yakup decided, I'll prepare a special Christmas.

88
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,799
Speaker 1: Ya cogni mali.

89
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,039
Speaker 3: Like when we were little.

90
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,639
Speaker 1: Nili bi humsebavit matse.

91
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: We should have fun, laugh miss.

92
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:09,519
Speaker 1: Nostalschri den.

00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,799
Speaker 3: I think we need that it was Christmas eve.

Speaker 1: Zatimso snipe yakup viasri a photography.

95
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,759
Speaker 3: As the snow slowly covered all traces, Yaku pulled out

96
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:29,519
old family games and photographs.

97
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: Carova come nazari ra te plem a cabra osdubnayed no

98
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:38,840
papiro ya.

99
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: The tiled stove radiated warmth, and the cabin was decorated

100
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:48,200
with simple paper chains, just like they used to.

101
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: Do boogelrish la snova boze.

102
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, a snowstorm.

103
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: Hit Niski at mos feri Eleni.

104
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:06,639
Speaker 3: Instead of a peaceful atmosphere, the cabin was plunged into

105
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,879
darkness without electricity.

106
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Jihobiro PUOs vuki vietru aadairos.

107
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: The silence was broken by the sounds of wind and

108
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:26,919
falling Snowkoko simbolitzke pron Teresa. This all seems so symbolic,

109
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,120
said Thereza.

110
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: Prodivdl ni yakup pohopel jichiasmovit.

111
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,159
Speaker 3: Family life can be unpredictable too. Yakup understood it was

112
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:42,759
time to talk.

113
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: Mesokdi zeptal sevirzesvichku.

114
00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: Why have we grown so distant, he asked, clutching a candle.

115
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:06,039
Speaker 1: Moshnas di ochavo otpoviglvatslav uprimih pkva pivi upmonem.

116
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,919
Speaker 3: Maybe because we each expected something different. Bautslav replied honestly

117
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,080
in a surprisingly sincere tone.

118
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: Bihem tem nihogin sesvichkame okolosebo za chelimovit.

119
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: During those dark hours, surrounded by candles, they began to talk.

120
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: Om nurosti oskama ni otom somugeprines budhotznost.

121
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:38,519
Speaker 3: About the past, about disappointments, and about what the future

122
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,000
might bring.

123
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Mroviri o spomenka nadit kera dooschi nas polechni sm adrob

124
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,320
ne haatki.

125
00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:52,399
Speaker 3: They spoke of memories of childhood, joys, shared laughter and

126
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:53,360
small arguments.

127
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,759
Speaker 1: Ya kupnayed no uzi kill yak musramen spadlachnachia.

128
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: Suddenly, Yakup felt the weight lift from his shoulders.

129
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: Doomna do exist agitav nos ta solchaski pribi.

130
00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 3: He realized that no perfect family exists, and that this

131
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,240
unevenness is part of their story.

132
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,759
Speaker 1: Cabin seschi no dorosvirtla.

133
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 3: When the storm finally calmed, the cabin once again sank

134
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:41,840
into cozy light shikolemsto. They all sat together around the table.

135
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: Stesvikili clad.

136
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,759
Speaker 3: Plimlescem candles glowed, their faces illuminated by a warm glow.

137
00:12:53,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: Nanove zachatki proesiso yakoina.

138
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: To new beginnings, they said, together as one family.

139
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,039
Speaker 1: Yakup se u smile justnis poznani.

140
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:11,879
Speaker 3: Yakub smiled, happy with his realization.

141
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: Va nozze chim tospo sobili krasnichi.

142
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: Christmas had never been more beautiful in this way.

143
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:29,799
Speaker 1: Krassin perfect noschi a le vevzayem nem POROZINII.

144
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,519
Speaker 3: The beauty of family isn't in perfection, but in mutual

145
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:36,039
understanding and forgiveness.

146
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,080
