Story Transcript:

Ga: Tá Aoife ina suí ag an bhfuinneog, a súile ag stánadh amach ar na sléibhte áille a chlúdaíonn Páirc Náisiúnta Conamara.
En: Aoife is sitting by the window, her eyes staring out at the beautiful mountains that cover Connemara National Park.

Ga: Tá sé i lár an gheimhridh, agus tá an sneachta gléigeal ag déanamh scéal graceach den tírdhreach.
En: It is the middle of winter, and the bright white snow makes a graceful story of the landscape.

Ga: Is saothar ealaíne é an radharc, ach fós tá ualach ina croí nach féidir péinteáil.
En: The scene is a work of art, but still, there is a burden in her heart that cannot be painted.

Ga: Tá Aoife ansin chun Cian a fheiceáil.
En: Aoife is there to see Cian.

Ga: Is eachtra mór a bhí ann ag teacht anseo, a lán míonna gan a bheith le chéile ach tríd an bhfón nó tríd an ríomhaire.
En: It was a big event coming here, many months without being together except through the phone or computer.

Ga: Is ealaíontóir í Aoife, cróga agus introspective, ag lorg slí chun a mothúcháin a chur in iúl trína cuid ealaíne.
En: Aoife is an artist, brave and introspective, seeking a way to express her feelings through her art.

Ga: Bíonn deacrachtaí sa cheangal fada idir í agus Cian, agus bíonn sí ag streachailt idir a gairm bheatha agus a caidreamh.
En: There are difficulties in the long-distance connection between her and Cian, and she struggles between her career and her relationship.

Ga: Tagann Cian, a hata tarraing air siar le cosaint ó ghaotha fuara na sléibhte.
En: Cian arrives, his hat pulled back to protect him from the cold mountain winds.

Ga: "Tá áilleacht iontach sa gheimhreadh," a deir sé, ag seasamh in aice le Aoife.
En: "There is incredible beauty in winter," he says, standing next to Aoife.

Ga: Tá Aoife in amhras.
En: Aoife is doubtful.

Ga: "Tá áilleacht ann, ach tá fuacht ann freisin," a fhreagraíonn sí le heireaball na súl.
En: "There is beauty, but there is also cold," she replies with a sidelong glance.

Ga: Ceann ar cheile, siúlann siad tríd an gnáir ar chosán lán de reiligeáin sneachta agus riasca geala.
En: Side by side, they walk through the wilderness on a path full of snow relics and bright bogs.

Ga: Is áit ciúin í an pháirc, níl ann ach ceol an nádúir.
En: The park is a quiet place, with nothing but the music of nature.

Ga: Praghas anama é don bheirt acu.
En: It is a soul's price for both of them.

Ga: "Caithfimid labhairt," a deir Aoife, a croí ag bualadh go tapa.
En: "We need to talk," says Aoife, her heart beating fast.

Ga: Feiceann sí an neamhchinnteacht i súile Cian.
En: She sees the uncertainty in Cian's eyes.

Ga: "Ní fiú mar a bhí," a thugann sí le fios le guth íseal.
En: "It's not like it used to be," she indicates in a low voice.

Ga: "Caithfimid ár nasc a athbheochan.
En: "We need to rekindle our bond."

Ga: "Bunaíonn a bhfocail atmósféar tromshaothair.
En: Her words create a grave atmosphere.

Ga: Ní raibh sé éasca, ach is cuimhin leo an sult agus an grá a bhí acu uair.
En: It wasn't easy, but they remember the joy and love they once had.

Ga: Ar phic díobhalling am, luíonn an aimsir.
En: In a fleeting moment, the weather shifts.

Ga: Leachtann agus imíonn an sneachta céanna a bhí ag teorann a spioraid.
En: The same snow that had been weighing down their spirits melts and...
