Adrià estava assegut a la sorra daurada de la platja de la Barceloneta, mirant el mar blau i clar que s'estenia davant dels seus ulls.
Adrià was sitting on the golden sand of Barceloneta beach, gazing at the clear blue sea that stretched out before his eyes.
El sol brillava amb força al cel d'estiu i la calor era palpable.
The sun shone brightly in the summer sky, and the heat was palpable.
Al seu voltant, la platja era plena de gent: nens jugant a les onades, turistes relaxats sota para-sols de colors vius, i venedors ambulants que oferien fruites fresques i begudes fredes.
Around him, the beach was full of people: children playing in the waves, tourists relaxing under brightly colored umbrellas, and street vendors offering fresh fruits and cold drinks.
Adrià era un artista freelance, talentós però amb dificultats per fer-se un lloc al món de l'art.

Un matí, mentre reflexionava a la platja, va veure la Núria i en Pau, una parella de joves que gaudien del mar.
