U srcu Zagreba, usred maglovite jeseni, mala pržionica kave pršti životom.
In the heart of Zagreb, amidst the foggy autumn, a small coffee roastery bursts with life.
Miris svježe mljevene kave ispunjava zrak, a stari crno-bijeli fotografije grada krase zidove, pričajući priču dugogodišnje obiteljske tradicije.
The aroma of freshly ground coffee fills the air, and the old black-and-white photographs of the city adorn the walls, telling the story of a long-standing family tradition.
Ivan stoji iza pulta s maglom u očima dok miješa zrna kave u starom metalnom mlinu.
Ivan stands behind the counter with a haze in his eyes as he mixes coffee beans in an old metal grinder.
Njegova sestra Ana, sada uspješna u inozemstvu, često mu šalje poruke podrške, ali ipak osjeća težinu očekivanja oca Luke, čiji se zdravlje polako narušava.
His sister Ana, now successful abroad, often sends him messages of support, yet he feels the weight of their father Luka's expectations, whose health is slowly deteriorating.
Luka je uvijek vjerovao da će Ivan, najmlađi u obitelji, preuzeti posao koji je desetljećima održavao njihovu obitelj.
Luka always believed that Ivan, the youngest in the family, would take over the business that for decades sustained their family.
"Ivane, sine," rekao je Luka jednog dana, "ovaj posao nije samo naš posao.
"Ivane, my son," Luka said one day, "this business isn't just our job.
To je tradicija.
It's a tradition.
Nasljeđe.
A legacy.
Ne bih želio da sve to propadne.
I wouldn't want all of that to fail."
"Ivan shvaća važnost očevih riječi, ali u srcu ga vuče želja za putovanjima i fotografijom.
Ivan understands the importance of his father's words, but in his heart, he is drawn to travel and photography.
Njegove oči sanjaju o UNESCO-ovim svjetskim baštinama i egzotičnim krajolicima, dok osjeća kako ga svakodnevno vodi miris pečene kave.
His eyes dream of UNESCO's world heritages and exotic landscapes, while he feels guided daily by the scent of roasted coffee.
Uzbuđenje rujanskog zraka i raščlanjena lišća na cesti, otkriva Ivan strah od neuspjeha, ali sigurno vodi posao dok Luka provodi vrijeme na oporavku.
With the excitement of the September air and the scattered leaves on the road, Ivan discovers a fear of failure but confidently runs the business while Luka spends time recovering.
Kupci dolaze i odlaze, uživajući u poznatom okusu i atmosferi.
Customers come and go, enjoying the familiar taste and atmosphere.
Jedne večeri, nakon napornog radnog dana, Ivan sjeda nasuprot oca.
One evening, after a long day of work, Ivan sits across from his father.
"Tata, volim našu pržionicu, to znaš.
"Dad, I love our roastery, you know that.
Ali, isto tako, želim vidjeti svijet kroz svoj objektiv.
But I also want to see the world through my lens.
Osjećam se rastrgano.
I feel torn."
"Luka se nasmiješi, pogledom punim razumijevanja.
Luka smiles, his gaze full of understanding.
"Znam, sine.
"I know, son.
Njeguj svoju strast.
Nurture your passion.
No, i obitelj je samo jedna, i tradicija koju imamo ona je koja nas veže.
But remember, family is one of a kind, and the tradition we have is what binds us.
Možda možeš pronaći način da spojiš oboje.
Maybe you can find a way to combine both."
"S tim riječima, Ivan shvaća da može privremeno ostati u pržionici, ali i dalje planirati svoj bijeg u svijet fotografije.
With those words, Ivan realizes he can temporarily stay at the roastery while still planning his escape into the world of photography.
S vremenom, Ivan odluči uvijek cijeniti tradiciju, ali i slijediti svoje snove.
Over time, Ivan decides to always appreciate the tradition but also follow his dreams.
Otvara mali kutak u pržionici gdje izlaže svoje fotografije različitih kultura, spajajući tako strast s obiteljskom tradicijom.
He opens a small corner in the roastery where he displays his photographs of different cultures, thus blending his passion with the family tradition.
Rastao je Ivan u sebi, razumjevši da može cijeniti prošlost, ali ipak slijediti ono što mu srcem najviše odgovara.
Ivan grows within himself, understanding that he can appreciate the past but still follow what his heart desires most.
Luka, premda tradicionalan, u sebi ponosno vidi nasljednika koji poštuje obiteljsku ostavštinu, ali i oblikuje vlastiti put.
Luka, though traditional, proudly sees an heir who respects the family legacy but also carves his own path.
