Sk: V teplej atmosfére zimnej štvrti, kde sa snímky svetiel ozývali v snehu, stretávali sa Marek a Zuzana.
En: In the warm atmosphere of the winter district, where the images of lights resonated in the snow, Marek and Zuzana would meet.

Sk: Vitajte na Škôlkarskej ulici, kde v každom dome svietili vianočné svetlá a na ulici šumeli deti so sánkami.
