Story Transcript:

Ca: En mig de les alegres i bullicioses rues de la capital catalana, Barcelona, tres amics traven un pla secret. Jordi, Marta i David, que comparteixen una profunda amistat des de la infància, vivien moments contrastants.
En: In the midst of the joyful and bustling streets of the Catalan capital, Barcelona, three friends hatch a secret plan. Jordi, Marta, and David, who share a deep friendship since childhood, were going through contrasting moments.

Ca: Mentre la metròpolis els brindava nombroses raons per somriure, David lluitava per trobar la seva.
En: While the metropolis provided them with numerous reasons to smile, David was struggling to find his.

Ca: David semblava perdut, com una barca a la deriva en alta mar. La brillantor dels seus ulls s'havia apagat. L'univers colorit que un dia va pintar amb els seus somriures era ara gris.
En: David seemed lost, like a boat adrift at sea. The brightness in his eyes had faded. The colorful universe that he once painted with his smiles was now gray.

Ca: Jordi i Marta es negaven a veure el seu amic en aquell estat. Sabien que tenien que actuar.
En: Jordi and Marta refused to see their friend in that state. They knew they had to take action.

Ca: El pla era simple: una escapada secreta de cap de setmana a Barcelona. La ciutat que s'havia mostrat sempre propícia per a crear records inoblidables els esperava un cop més.
En: The plan was simple: a secret weekend getaway to Barcelona. The city that had always been conducive to creating unforgettable memories awaited them once again.

Ca: Un divendres al vespre, Jordi i Marta es presenten a casa de David. Al veure'ls amb maletes, David se'ls mira confús.
En: On a Friday evening, Jordi and Marta show up at David's house. Seeing them with suitcases, David looks at them confusedly.

Ca: "Cap a on anem?", pregunta. "Adverteix el sabor de l'aventura, amic!", Jordi respon amb un somriure maliciós.
En: "Where are we going?" he asks. "Taste the flavor of adventure, my friend!" Jordi responds with a mischievous smile.

Ca: Barcelona els benvinguda amb els braços oberts. Les alegres rues del carrer La Rambla, les magestuoses ones de color de la casa Batlló de Gaudí, els aromes apetitosos de la Boqueria... tot era una festa pels sentits.
En: Barcelona welcomes them with open arms. The joyful streets of La Rambla, the majestic colors of Gaudi's Casa Batlló, the tempting aromas of La Boqueria... everything was a celebration for the senses.

Ca: Encara que David estava reticent al principi, les riallades contagiants de Jordi i les plaents xerrades de Marta el portaven poc a poc de tornada.
En: Although David was hesitant at first, Jordi's contagious laughter and Marta's pleasant conversations slowly brought him back.

Ca: El moment cúspide de la seva aventura l'arriba amb una visita al màgic Parc Güell. Asseguts davant de l'horitzó de Barcelona, amb la ciutat sota els seus peus banyada per la tímida llum del capvespre, Jordi i Marta fan un brindis.
En: The climax of their adventure comes with a visit to the magical Park Güell. Sitting in front of Barcelona's horizon, with the city beneath their feet bathed in the soft light of dusk, Jordi and Marta make a toast.

Ca: Passen revista a les seves antics batalles, victòries, derrotes i les tonteries que s'han arribat a dir.
En: They reminisce about their past battles, victories, defeats, and the silly things they have said to each other.

Ca: David, que havia estat callat per un temps, finalment somriu, tocat per les paraules dels seus amics. Era evident que Barcelona els hi havia obert petits racons al seu cor que no recordava estaven allà.
En: David, who had been silent for a while, finally smiles, touched by his friends' words. It was evident that Barcelona had opened small corners in his heart that he didn't remember were there.

Ca: El capvespre es desitjava bona nit amb un últim raig de llum.
En: The evening bids them good night with one last ray of light.

Ca: De tornada a casa, amb Barcelona darrera, els ulls de David brillaven un cop més. Havia entès la missió dels seus amics i es sentiria agraït per sempre.
En: On the way back home, with Barcelona behind them, David's eyes shine once again. He had understood his friends' mission and would be forever grateful.

Ca: Barcelona, aquesta vegada, no només els hi havia proporcionat un cap de setmana alegre, sinó un record que els enfortiria en l'amistat pel que restava de vida.
En: Barcelona, this time, had not only provided them with a joyful weekend but also a memory that would strengthen their friendship for the rest of their lives.

Ca: A vegades, tot el que necessites és una petita fuga de la realitat per recordar que cada núvol gris també té un revestiment platejat.
En: Sometimes, all you need is a small escape from reality to remember that every gray cloud also has a silver lining.
