English translation of dialogue: [Young woman] I miss you a lot, and the night is long -- my dream gets larger. I wish only to breathe in your air. [Young man] I too have dreams of you. My mother wants me to get married -- to wear a black suit and be joyful. Why? [Boy] I'm tired. Every day my sickness gets worse and worse. Oh God, how much I want to play ball with you, and that's why I want to go -- I'm sick and need to go. [Young woman] I miss you so much. And if you feel my heart beating it will not wilt or die. Take this [ring] as a memory. [Young man] Maybe we'll meet sometime. [Boy] I don't see -- only darkness. Every day I'm waiting for the light. [Text] Their dreams stay captive, waiting for living.
