Story Transcript:
Sl: Jesen je ovila Blejsko jezero v tople barve.
En: Autumn has wrapped Blejsko jezero in warm colors.
Sl: Drevesa ob jezeru žarijo v rdeči, zeleni in oranžni barvi.
En: The trees by the lake glow in red, green, and orange hues.
Sl: Na obali sedi Miha, umetnik z dušo, ki išče navdih v naravi.
En: On the shore sits Miha, an artist with soul, seeking inspiration in nature.
Sl: Uživanje v jesenskih odtenkih ni le njegova umetniška gesta, temveč tudi način, kako obvladati svoje misli.
En: Enjoying the autumn shades is not just his artistic gesture but also a way to manage his thoughts.
Sl: Pogreša Tino, svojo dekle, ki dela v Ljubljani.
En: He misses Tina, his girlfriend, who works in Ljubljana.
Sl: Med njima je veliko kilometrov in še več neizgovorjenih čustev.
En: Between them are many kilometers and even more unspoken feelings.
Sl: Miha in Anže sta prijatelja iz otroštva.
En: Miha and Anže are childhood friends.
Sl: Anže je danes prišel od nasvet.
En: Anže has come today for advice.
Sl: Miha mu pripoveduje o Tini.
En: Miha tells him about Tina.
Sl: "Pogrešam jo.
En: "I miss her.
Sl: Zanjo ustvarjam sliko, prelepo kot je jesen na Bledu," pove Miha.
En: I'm creating a painting for her, as beautiful as autumn in Bled," Miha says.
Sl: Anže, ki ima svojo zapleteno zvezo, prikima.
En: Anže, who has his own complicated relationship, nods.
Sl: "Morda ji povabiš na obisk," predlaga Anže.
En: "Maybe invite her for a visit," suggests Anže.
Sl: Dnevi minevajo, Miha vsak dan slika.
En: Days pass, and Miha paints every day.
Sl: Ko opazuje lepote jezera, kako čolni počasi plovejo mimo otoka z zvonikom, njegova slika oživi.
En: As he observes the beauty of the lake and how boats slowly sail past the island with the bell tower, his painting comes alive.
Sl: A misli so vedno pri Tini.
En: But his thoughts are always with Tina.
Sl: Tina medtem v Ljubljani dela dolge ure.
En: Meanwhile, Tina works long hours in Ljubljana.
Sl: Mnogokrat pogleda na telefon, čakajoč sporočilo od Mihe.
En: She often glances at her phone, waiting for a message from Miha.
Sl: Na koncu se odloči. Miha povabi Tino za konec tedna na Bled.
En: In the end, Miha decides to invite Tina for the weekend to Bled.
Sl: "Pridi, Halloween bomo preživeli skupaj," ji piše.
En: "Come, we'll spend Halloween together," he writes to her.
Sl: Tina je sprva obotavljiva zaradi dela, a srce zmaga.
En: Tina is initially hesitant because of work, but her heart wins.
Sl: Ko pride Tina, je noč čarovnic.
En: When Tina arrives, it's Halloween.
Sl: Po jezeru so razpršene majhne luči.
En: Small lights are scattered over the lake.
Sl: Miha jo pričaka na pomolu, držeč roko z nalivnim črnilom umazano od barv.
En: Miha awaits her at the pier, holding a hand smeared with ink from paint.
Sl: "Presenečenje imam zate," pove Miha in jo vodi v atelje.
En: "I have a surprise for you," Miha tells her and leads her to the studio.
Sl: V kotu je prekrito platno.
En: In the corner, there's a covered canvas.
Sl: Miha počasi odstrani pregrinjalo.
En: Miha slowly removes the cover.
Sl: Tina zadržuje dih ob pogledu na sliko.
En: Tina holds her breath at the sight of the painting.
Sl: Prelepa je, živahna jesen, ujeta.
