Pod hladnim jesenskim nebom jezero Bled počiva v tihi spokojnosti.
Under the cold autumn sky, jezero Bled rests in quiet tranquility.
Okolica je po apokalipsi pusta, a voda v jezeru še vedno zrcali zasnežene vrhove gora v daljavi.
The surroundings are desolate after the apocalypse, yet the water in the lake still reflects the snow-capped mountain peaks in the distance.
Medtem ko veter prenaša šum posušenih listov, trije prijatelji - Anže, Mateja in Jure - hodijo po kamnitih robovih proti zadnjemu delujočemu geotermalnemu izviru.
As the wind carries the rustle of dried leaves, three friends - Anže, Mateja, and Jure - walk along the stony edges towards the last functioning geothermal spring.
Upajo, da jim bo uspel lep večer.
They hope for a pleasant evening.
Anže, pogumen in pustolovski, vodi skupino.
Anže, brave and adventurous, leads the group.
Njegove oči opazujejo vplive apokalipse, a njegov um je zaskrbljen zaradi pomanjkanja sreče v tem svetu.
His eyes observe the effects of the apocalypse, but his mind is worried about the lack of joy in this world.
Danes, še posebej, želi ustvariti nepozaben trenutek z Matejo in Juretom.
Today, especially, he wishes to create a memorable moment with Mateja and Jure.
Želi fotografijo, ki bi ujela duh starih časov, medtem ko vsi trije pečejo penice.
He wants a photograph that captures the spirit of old times while all three roast marshmallows.
Ko dosežejo izvir, jih pozdravi znani zvok - gumenjakasti kvakanje robokacke, njihove neželene spremljevalke.
When they reach the spring, they are greeted by a familiar sound - the rubbery quacking of robokacka, their unwanted companion.
Ta rumena mehanska raca ima nalogo, da spravlja ob živce s svojo sarkastično težnjo po pojavljanju na vseh njihovih fotografijah.
This yellow mechanical duck has a knack for getting on their nerves with its sarcastic tendency to appear in all their photos.
Mateja, ki vedno najde sarkastičen komentar za vsako situacijo, ne more skrivati nasmeha, ko robokacka ponovno pokvari njihov kader.
Mateja, who always finds a sarcastic comment for every situation, cannot hide her smile as robokacka once again ruins their shot.
"Spet ona," zavzdihne, a v očeh se ji iskrice igrivost.
"There she is again," she sighs, but her eyes glint with playfulness.
"Bo, kar bo," veselo doda Jure, vedno pripravljen zasmejati težave v boljši luči.
"What will be, will be," Jure cheerfully adds, always ready to laugh off problems in a better light.
Njegovo smejanje prežene strah, ki ga pogosto čuti v teh neprijaznih časih.
His laughter dispels the fear he often feels in these unkind times.
Anže odločno razpostavi lesen kolec nad izvir, ignorira raco in pripravi penice.
Anže resolutely sets up a wooden stake over the spring, ignoring the duck, and prepares the marshmallows.
"Osredotočimo se," reče, premaga dvome in usmerja pozornost na nalogo, ki jih vse tri povezuje.
"Let’s focus," he says, overcoming doubts and directing attention to the task that binds the three of them.
Kmalu vse tri čakajo, da penice zlato porjavijo.
Soon all three await the golden browning of the marshmallows.
Robokacka kvakne v melodiji in nenadoma začne peti popačeno uspavanko, njeno pesem prekinja visok ton.
Robokacka quacks in tune and suddenly starts singing a distorted lullaby, interrupted by a high-pitched tone.
Anže s tresočo roko tehta svojo penico nad izvir, vedoč, da ta trenutek ne sme zamuditi.
Anže with a trembling hand weighs his marshmallow over the spring, knowing this moment must not be missed.
Nenadoma izvir začne usihati.
Suddenly, the spring begins to wane.
Preden toplota popolnoma izgine, Anže potegne popolno zapečeno penico stran.
Before the warmth completely disappears, Anže pulls away a perfectly toasted marshmallow.
V zadnjem trenutku jim uspe.
They succeed just in time.
Jure sikne fotoaparat in pritisne, ravno ko robokacka veselo poskoči v ozadju slike.
Jure snaps the camera and presses the shutter just as robokacka gleefully jumps in the background of the picture.
Trio hripavo smeje z objavo neprecenljivega trenutka.
The trio laughs hoarsely at capturing an invaluable moment.
Anže se nasmehne, ujede trenutek sreče in ve, da je našel nekaj dragocenega v tem svetu.
Anže smiles, seizing the moment of happiness, knowing he has found something precious in this world.
Veselje se ne skriva le v velikih dejanjih, temveč v drobnih in nepričakovanih trenutkih, ko je smeh, pa čeprav z robotskim raco, najboljša možna rešitev pred temnim svetom.
Joy is not hidden only in grand actions but also in the small, unexpected moments when laughter, even with a robotic duck, is the best possible remedy against a dark world.
