  • U botaničkom vrtu u Zagrebu, jesen je raskošna.

    In the botanical garden in Zagreb, autumn is magnificent.

  • Lišće drveća sjaji u nijansama žute, narančaste i crvene boje.

    The leaves on the trees shine in shades of yellow, orange, and red.

  • Zrak je hladan i svjež.

    The air is cold and fresh.

  • Grupa srednjoškolaca šeta stazama vrta, dok ih prati Nikola, njihov učitelj biologije.

    A group of high school students strolls along the garden paths, accompanied by Nikola, their biology teacher.

  • Među njima je Ivana, tiha djevojka koju više zanimaju biljke nego šala i smijeh kolega.

    Among them is Ivana, a quiet girl more interested in plants than in the jokes and laughter of her peers.

  • "Ivana, gle ovu biljku!

    "Ivana, look at this plant!

  • Vidim savršen kadar za fotografiju", uzvikne Mateo, zaokupljen kamerom.

    I see the perfect shot for a photograph," exclaims Mateo, engrossed in his camera.

  • Njega biljke ne zanimaju, više je okupiran svojim hobijem, fotografijom.

    Plants don't interest him as much as his hobby, photography.

  • Ivana se nasmiješi, ali njen um je negdje drugdje, razmišljajući o rijetkim jesenskim biljkama koje bi voljela izbliza promatrati.

    Ivana smiles, but her mind is elsewhere, thinking about the rare autumn plants she would love to observe up close.

  • Nikola krene objašnjavati o rjeđim vrstama koje rastu u vrtu.

    Nikola begins to explain about the rarer species that grow in the garden.

  • Unatoč njegovim naporima, pažnja učenika sve je slabija.

    Despite his efforts, the students' attention wanes.

  • Ivana osjeti kako joj srce jače kuca.

    Ivana feels her heart beating faster.

  • Ovo je prilika da upita sve što ju zanima.

    This is her chance to ask everything she's curious about.

  • No, boji se, a misli da će ju možda netko zadirkivati zbog toga.

    However, she's afraid, fearing she might be teased.

  • Mateo skače s jedne strane na drugu, tražeći savršeno svjetlo za fotografiju, što Ivanu dodatno dekoncentrira.

    Mateo jumps from one side to the other, searching for the perfect light for a photo, which further distracts Ivana.

  • Kad prolaze pored jedne posebne cvjetne gredice, Nikola stane.

    As they pass by a special flower bed, Nikola stops.

  • "Ovo je rijedak jesenski cvijet koji se može pronaći samo ovdje," kaže s ponosom.

    "This is a rare autumn flower that can only be found here," he says proudly.

  • Nešto u Ivaninom srcu se pokrene.

    Something stirs in Ivana's heart.

  • Povuče uzdah i konačno skupi hrabrost da progovori.

    She takes a breath and finally musters the courage to speak up.

  • "Nikola, možete li nam više reći o ovom cvijetu?

    "Nikola, can you tell us more about this flower?"

  • "Učitelj se iznenadi, ali osmijeh mu ozari lice.

    The teacher is surprised, but a smile brightens his face.

  • "Naravno, Ivana!

    "Of course, Ivana!

  • Ovog cvijeta nema mnogo i posebno je osjetljiv na promjenu klimatskih uvjeta.

    There aren't many of these flowers, and they're particularly sensitive to climatic changes."

  • " Dok Nikola priča, Ivana počne postavljati više pitanja, a Mateo spušta kameru, privuče ga razgovor.

    As Nikola talks, Ivana starts asking more questions, and Mateo lowers his camera, drawn by the conversation.

  • Nije očekivao da botanički vrt krije toliko priča.

    He didn't expect the botanical garden to hold so many stories.

  • Tako je i Mateo, iako prvotno nezainteresiran, počinje promatrati biljke kroz novi objektiv, sada znatiželjan.

    Thus, even Mateo, initially uninterested, begins to observe the plants through a new lens, now curious.

  • "Možda bih trebao napraviti foto-esej o ovome," promrmlja sebi u bradu.

    "Maybe I should make a photo essay about this," he mumbles to himself.

  • Kroz cijeli obilazak, Ivana i Nikola vode žive razgovore o biljnom svijetu.

    Throughout the entire tour, Ivana and Nikola engage in lively conversations about the plant world.

  • Kad ekskurzija završi, Ivana osjeća da se nešto promijenilo.

    When the excursion ends, Ivana feels that something has changed.

  • Postala je sigurnija u sebe.

    She has become more confident.

  • Mateova nova zainteresiranost daje ideju za školski projekt koji će kombinirati fotografiju s botanikom.

    Mateo's newfound interest sparks an idea for a school project that will combine photography with botany.

  • Ivana je više ne primjećuje toliko vlastitu sramežljivost.

    Ivana no longer notices her own shyness as much.

  • Vrt odlazi u sjena grada, ali ostaje u njoj osjećaj novih početaka.

    The garden fades into the city's shadow, but within her remains a feeling of new beginnings.

  • Možda će uspjeti podijeliti svoju strast s cijelim svijetom, jednoga dana.

    Perhaps someday, she will manage to share her passion with the entire world.
