Story Transcript:

Ca: L’aire fresc de tardor omplia el Penedès amb una brisa suau.
En: The fresh autumn air filled el Penedès with a gentle breeze.

Ca: Els ceps es pintaven de colors daurats sota el sol de tarda.
En: The vines were painted with golden colors under the afternoon sun.

Ca: El raïm estava madur, llest per a la collita, i la vinya d'Oriol s'estenia com un mar de fulles ondulants.
En: The grapes were ripe, ready for harvest, and Oriol's vineyard stretched like a sea of undulating leaves.

Ca: Oriol caminava pel camp, pensatiu.
En: Oriol walked through the field, thoughtful.

Ca: El Festival de Sant Sadurní s'acostava, un moment de celebració per a la família, però aquest any hi havia tensió.
En: The Sant Sadurní Festival was approaching, a time of celebration for the family, but this year there was tension.

Ca: Oriol volia portar tecnologia nova a la vinya.
En: Oriol wanted to bring new technology to the vineyard.

Ca: Creia que una modernització podia augmentar la producció i assegurar el futur de la seva família.
En: He believed that modernization could increase production and secure his family's future.

Ca: Però la seva germana Laia no hi estava d'acord.
En: But his sister Laia disagreed.

Ca: Ella adorava els mètodes tradicionals que els seus avis havien utilitzat.
En: She loved the traditional methods their grandparents had used.

Ca: "Són aquests mètodes que fan el nostre vi especial, Oriol," deia Laia mentre plegava les vinyes.
En: "It's these methods that make our wine special, Oriol," said Laia while tending the vines.

Ca: "No ho podem perdre.
En: "We can't lose that."

Ca: "Llavors hi havia en Genís, el seu cosí gran.
En: Then there was Genís, their older cousin.

Ca: Recentment, havia parlat de vendre la seva part de la vinya.
En: Recently, he had talked about selling his part of the vineyard.

Ca: Necessitava diners per a la seva nova empresa.
En: He needed money for his new business.

Ca: Oriol sabia que perdre la part de Genís significava perdre una part de la història familiar.
En: Oriol knew that losing Genís's part meant losing a piece of the family history.

Ca: El festival va arribar amb música i somriures.
En: The festival arrived with music and smiles.

Ca: Les olles de vi bullien i els nens corrien pels carrers.
En: Pots of wine simmered, and children ran through the streets.

Ca: Era un dia de joia, i Oriol havia esperat aquest moment.
En: It was a day of joy, and Oriol had been waiting for this moment.

Ca: Amb el poble reunit, va decidir parlar.
En: With the village gathered, he decided to speak.

Ca: "Família, amics," començà, amb la veu ferma però emotiva.
En: "Family, friends," he began, with a firm yet emotional voice.

Ca: "Aquesta vinya ha donat vida a la nostra família durant generacions.
En: "This vineyard has given life to our family for generations.

Ca: Però hem d'assegurar el seu futur.
En: But we must ensure its future.

Ca: Us demano que considerem modernitzar una petita part.
En: I ask you to consider modernizing a small part.

Ca: No només per créixer, sinó per honorar també el treball dels nostres avantpassats, adaptant-nos.
En: Not just to grow, but also to honor the work of our ancestors by adapting."

Ca: "Laia es va quedar en silenci un moment, mirant els rostres dels familiars i amics.
En: Laia remained silent for a moment, looking at the faces of family and friends.

Ca: "Podem provar-ho," va dir finalment, "però amb cura.
En: "We can try," she finally said, "but with care."

Ca: "Genís va intervenir amb un somriure mig preocupat.
En: Genís interjected with a half-worried smile.

Ca: "Si es fa bé, potser fins i tot em quedaré.
En: "If done right, I might even stay.

Ca: La vinya és part de tots nosaltres.
En: The vineyard is part of all of us."

Ca: "Amb aquestes paraules, la discussió es va apaivagar.
En: With these words, the discussion calmed down.

Ca: La família va acordar modernitzar una petita secció com a prova.
En: The family agreed to modernize a small section as a trial.

Ca: Van brindar amb el vi de la família, celebrant l'esperança de la tradició i el progrés.
En: They toasted with the family wine, celebrating the hope of tradition and progress.

Ca: Per a Oriol, aquell vi era diferent.
En: For Oriol, that wine was different.

Ca: Va comprendre que innovar no significava oblidar.
En: He understood that innovating didn't mean forgetting.

Ca: En els ulls de la seva família, va veure la importància de la paciència i de valorar l'esforç, com les fulles d'or que cobrien la seva estimada vinya sota el cel de tardor.
En: In his family's eyes, he saw the importance of patience and valuing effort, like the golden leaves covering his beloved vineyard under the autumn sky.

Ca: La festa va continuar i els somriures van omplir l'aire, esvaint la tensió sota els estels.
En: The celebration continued, and smiles filled the air, easing the tension beneath the stars.
