3:23Sofia, her husband, is holding a friend, looking for a friend. She brings her husband to this tea and the bottom of his hand. You need to take care of yourself, don't worry. You can do everything, but on the other hand, she is smiling. At some point, they meet their friend and friend, Maxim. Maxim is also taking part in the competition. He has been told that to run away from the health and maybe a little bit before his plan. Maxim is sitting right away with a friend and Sofia. His presence is at the beginning of the event, but he is feeling something. We could help one by one, you know Maxim, you have to have all the block notes. We have similar ideas.

4:24These words can make Oleh think. Maybe he does not believe that the problem is with health, to believe the part of his ideas is different. What is more Oleh's understanding? Do you understand more? What help? This is not a weakness. Maybe, the most successful in the work is the real one. Oleh decides to resign. Once Sofia and Maxim begin to work on the project. The most successful idea is that they create a unique part, with a high position where they will be afraid of nature. Finally, it is time for the presentation. The jury is expressed in the news and the team work. Oleh's project, Sofia and Maxim received a praise and praise, they were not surprised.

5:24Oleh is standing in front of Sofia and Maxim, keeping in mind the results. He realizes that only the ambitions are given, and the ability to ask for help. He knows what is in the darkness in the collective, in the friendship, in the wrong direction and in the blind. Valykdin stands for his symbol of adventure and new beginnings. Once with friends he prepares a light in the evening, knowing that the best way is to keep the road. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. The tall skyscraper in the center of Kiev, like a giant stretches into the sky.

6:27The glass of its facade sparkles under the first rays of spring, reminding us of new beginnings. Oleh stands by the window of his apartment on the 19th floor, holding a cup of hot linden tea. The window is open, letting in a light chill and the scent of fresh grass. A few days earlier, Ola underwent surgery. The doctor said he needs more rest.

7:28But in his mind there is competition. Soon, there will be a contest for the best green roof design for the same skyscraper. Ola wants to win by completing a project that connects urban space with nature. Sophia, his supportive friend, watches Ola. She brings him a cup of honey tea and gently squeezes his hand.

8:28You need to conserve your strength. Don't worry so much. You can do everything but not alone, she says smiling. During Easter, they meet their colleague and friend, Maxim. Maxim is also participating in the contest. He visits to wish Ola good health and maybe to learn a little about his plan. Maxim sits down with Ola and Sophia.

9:35His presence initially unsettles Ola, but a certain support is felt. We could help each other, Maxim admits taking out his notebook. We have similar ideas. These words make Ola think. Can he, despite health issues, trust part of his ideas to others? The more Ola ponders, the more he realizes that help is not a weakness.

10:43Perhaps it is in collaboration that true strength lies. Ola decides to take the risk. Together with Sophia and Maxim, he starts working on the project. The object of the idea from the village, they create a unique sense of sense. And at the very top of the city, they will be surprised by nature. By combining their ideas and efforts, they create something truly unique. An oasis high above the city, where buildings embrace nature. Finally, it is time for the presentation.

11:43The jury is impressed by the innovation and teamwork. The project of Ola, Sophia, and Maxim receives approval far greater than they expected. Ola stands next to Sophia and Maxim, looking at the results. He understands that strength is not only an ambition, but also in the ability to ask for help. He understands that strength is not only an ambition, but also in the ability to ask for help. He has found new value in the collective, in friendship, in the shared pursuit of achievements.

12:51Easter becomes a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings for him. Together with friends, he prepares a festive dinner, knowing that the best is ahead, as long as they stick to the road together.
