Speaker 3: The ground was covered with a fine layer of snow,

67
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:38,639

00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:20,920
on the vines.

with their families.

Speaker 1: Setell ciron sin Marie in viticutris u cacn poto novetre.

00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: Gathering his courage, he went to see Mahi, hoping to

95
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,160
put aside their differences for the sake of the harvest.
