  • Nos dias que antecedem o Natal, as caves de vinho no Porto parecem um universo Ă  parte.

    In the days leading up to Christmas, the wine cellars in Porto seem like a universe apart.

  • As paredes sĂŁo de pedra fria e antiga.

    The walls are of cold, ancient stone.

  • A luz suave das decorações de Natal reflete nos enormes barris de carvalho.

    The soft glow of the Christmas decorations reflects off the enormous oak barrels.

  • O aroma doce e familiar das uvas fermentadas enche o ar.

    The sweet, familiar aroma of fermented grapes fills the air.

  • Tiago, um jovem arquiteto, entra nas caves.

    Tiago, a young architect, enters the cellars.

  • Ele veio com um objetivo: desvendar a verdade sobre o seu avĂ´ e reconciliar-se com histĂłrias do passado.

    He has come with a purpose: to uncover the truth about his grandfather and reconcile with stories from the past.

  • A seu lado está InĂŞs, a sua irmĂŁ.

    Beside him is InĂŞs, his sister.

  • Ela Ă© o oposto de Tiago—sempre otimista e determinada a unir a famĂ­lia.

    She is the opposite of Tiago—always optimistic and determined to unite the family.

  • Ă€ medida que avançam, encontram Duarte, o primo mais velho.

    As they move forward, they encounter Duarte, the eldest cousin.

  • Duarte gere as caves como se fossem seu reino.

    Duarte manages the cellars as if they were his kingdom.

  • O seu foco está no negĂłcio, mas ele acolhe os primos com um sorriso frio.

    His focus is on the business, but he greets his cousins with a cold smile.

  • “Bem-vindos!” Duarte exclama.

    “Welcome!” Duarte exclaims.

  • “Talvez vocĂŞs possam apreciar a grandiosidade destas caves.” Enquanto caminhavam pelos corredores serpenteantes, entre conversas triviais sobre o vinho do Porto, Tiago guardava as suas verdadeiras intenções.

    “Perhaps you can appreciate the grandeur of these cellars.” As they walked through the winding corridors, amid trivial conversations about Port wine, Tiago kept his true intentions to himself.

  • Desde criança, ouvira histĂłrias sobre o avô—um homem de grandes sonhos e sacrifĂ­cios.

    Since childhood, he had heard stories about his grandfather—a man of great dreams and sacrifices.

  • Contudo, há lacunas nessas histĂłrias que Tiago quer preencher.

    However, there are gaps in those stories that Tiago wants to fill.

  • Chegando a uma área mais isolada, Tiago parou.

    Reaching a more secluded area, Tiago stopped.

  • “Duarte, preciso de falar sobre o avĂ´.

    “Duarte, I need to talk about grandfather.

  • NĂŁo entendo o que realmente aconteceu.” Duarte, surpreso, assentiu e guiou-o para um canto tranquilo.

    I don't understand what really happened.” Duarte, surprised, nodded and guided him to a quiet corner.

  • “O negĂłcio da famĂ­lia nĂŁo Ă© fácil de gerir, Tiago,” começou Duarte.

    “The family business is not easy to manage, Tiago," began Duarte.

  • “Houve muitas decisões difĂ­ceis ao longo dos anos.” InĂŞs juntou-se a eles, tentando amenizar a tensĂŁo.

    "There have been many tough decisions over the years.” Inês joined them, trying to ease the tension.

  • “Talvez, se falarem, consigam superar isso.

    “Maybe if you talk, you can get past this.

  • Estamos aqui juntos, em famĂ­lia.” As suas palavras, embaladas pelo brilho dos enfeites de Natal, trouxeram um pouco de calma.

    We're here together, as a family.” Her words, wrapped in the glow of the Christmas decorations, brought a bit of calm.

  • Tiago, respirando fundo, desabafou-se.

    Tiago, taking a deep breath, opened up.

  • “Sinto que algo se perdeu.

    “I feel like something has been lost.

  • O avĂ´ sempre falava da importância da famĂ­lia.

    Grandfather always talked about the importance of family.

  • Tenho medo que sĂł o negĂłcio tenha ficado.” Duarte, entendendo a profundidade do ressentimento de Tiago, respondeu com sinceridade.

    I'm afraid only the business remains.” Duarte, understanding the depth of Tiago's resentment, responded sincerely.

  • “Houve sacrifĂ­cios.

    “There were sacrifices.

  • Mas tambĂ©m houve amor em manter o que ele construiu.

    But there was also love in maintaining what he built.

  • O avĂ´ queria que mantivĂ©ssemos a herança dele viva, nĂŁo apenas como um negĂłcio, mas como parte da nossa histĂłria.” O ambiente era denso, mas as palavras começaram a quebrar barreiras.

    Grandfather wanted us to keep his heritage alive, not just as a business, but as part of our history.” The atmosphere was heavy, but the words began to break barriers.

  • InĂŞs sorriu, animada com o progresso.

    InĂŞs smiled, encouraged by the progress.

  • Ela pegou trĂŞs copos de vinho e fez um brinde.

    She grabbed three glasses of wine and made a toast.

  • “Pelo avĂ´, e pelo nosso futuro.” Tiago, olhando para Duarte e InĂŞs, percebeu que o passado nĂŁo era apenas um peso, mas uma fonte de força.

    “To grandfather, and to our future.” Tiago, looking at Duarte and Inês, realized that the past was not just a burden, but a source of strength.

  • “Sim,” disse ele, erguendo o copo.

    “Yes,” he said, raising his glass.

  • “Que possamos começar de novo.

    “May we start anew.

  • Juntos.” Naquela noite, entre o som dos copos tilintando e o espĂ­rito natalino nas caves do Porto, uma promessa foi feita.

    Together.” That night, amid the clinking of glasses and the Christmas spirit in the cellars of Porto, a promise was made.

  • Tiago compreendeu que, em vez de escolher entre o passado e o futuro, ele poderia abraçar ambos.

    Tiago understood that instead of choosing between the past and the future, he could embrace both.
