1
00:00:27,875 --> 00:00:29,958
<i>Once upon a time, long ago
a long time ago,</i>

2
00:00:30,125 --> 00:00:32,250
<i>a strange black cat.</i>

3
00:00:32,792 --> 00:00:34,333
<i>Without friends,</i>

4
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:35,708
<i>homeless,</i>

5
00:00:36,083 --> 00:00:38,458
<i>and without any purpose in life.</i>

6
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:43,250
One fine day, he met
a scarecrow.</i>

7
00:00:51,292 --> 00:00:55,125
<i>The scarecrow begs the cat
black to throw it into the flames,</i>

8
00:00:55,500 --> 00:01:00,208
And thus freed, may he
and friends in flight.</i>

9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,292
<i>The black cat had a revelation.</i>

10
00:01:06,458 --> 00:01:08,292
<i>The scarecrow asked:</i>

11
00:01:09,125 --> 00:01:12,875
<i>"Which is the most
precious thing in the world?"</i>

12
00:01:18,458 --> 00:01:20,958
<i>The scarecrow didn't give it to him
a direct answer.</i>

13
00:01:21,125 --> 00:01:23,542
<i>He just called them three freaks,

14
00:01:23,708 --> 00:01:26,083
who each had a treasure.</i>

15
00:01:26,875 --> 00:01:29,667
<i>The black cat was furious
in the rags of the scarecrow,</i>

16
00:01:30,750 --> 00:01:33,125
And so the journey began

17
00:01:40,083 --> 00:01:48,042
A SHORT STORY
(Broken Heart of the Sun)

18
00:01:56,833 --> 00:01:59,042
<i>The first weirdo that
met him was a robot,</i>

19
00:01:59,208 --> 00:02:01,375
<i>who worked in an orphanage.</i>

20
00:02:02,667 --> 00:02:06,333
<i>The robot prepares
a unique candy in the world,</i>

21
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:07,958
<i>a bittersweet.</i>

22
00:02:09,042 --> 00:02:11,042
<i>When a child leaves the orphanage,</i>

23
00:02:11,208 --> 00:02:13,333
<i>received a candy�.</i>

24
00:02:13,667 --> 00:02:17,917
<i>A sweet, bitter and sad candy.</i>

25
00:02:24,542 --> 00:02:27,208
<i>Unfortunately, the battery
the robot had discharged.</i>

26
00:03:45,083 --> 00:03:46,917
hello goodbye

27
00:03:47,083 --> 00:03:48,875
Welcome. goodbye

28
00:03:49,042 --> 00:03:50,417
Welcome. goodbye

29
00:03:54,542 --> 00:03:58,125
Black cat, insensitive
as sweet as all cats,</i>

30
00:03:58,875 --> 00:04:03,042
He felt nothing but bitterness
and the harshness of the candy.</i>

31
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,083
He saw them on the way

32
00:04:26,583 --> 00:04:28,625
<i>The black cat has arrived
to the second odd,</i>

33
00:04:28,792 --> 00:04:30,542
<i>an amnesiac woman�.</i>

34
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,500
Every day, she prepares them 
a bowl of cuttlefish.</i>

35
00:04:36,583 --> 00:04:40,708
<i>"Cuts of oblivion", to forget
of the loss of the loved one.</i>

36
00:04:45,667 --> 00:04:47,950
The most precious thing to me?

37
00:04:47,950 --> 00:04:49,241
It's a letter.

38
00:04:54,042 --> 00:04:56,708
But I don't remember
what was it about

39
00:04:58,708 --> 00:05:00,875
I just remember
that the one who wrote it,

40
00:05:01,375 --> 00:05:03,125
he drove trains.

41
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:28,583
<i>The black cat offered
amnesiac one of his eyes,</i>

42
00:05:28,750 --> 00:05:30,375
<i>in the form of a lamp.</i>

43
00:05:32,917 --> 00:05:36,575
<i>A cat's eye has power
to comfort a grieving soul.</i>

44
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:53,167
<i>A voice began to sing
read the forgotten letter.</i>

45
00:05:54,792 --> 00:05:56,625
"What I am writing this evening"

46
00:05:56,792 --> 00:05:59,167
"is influenced by weather, pollution,"

47
00:05:59,333 --> 00:06:00,917
"particles in suspension,"

48
00:06:01,083 --> 00:06:03,667
"And especially, the position of the sun."

49
00:06:05,167 --> 00:06:07,333
"Children sleep soundly."

50
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,875
"The children are playing
In the blue intensity."

51
00:06:11,292 --> 00:06:13,583
"I will teach them to count."

52
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:19,625
"A flower plus a flower
It means a trumpet flower."

53
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,500
"A cockroach minus a cockroach,"

54
00:06:25,833 --> 00:06:27,833
"nevertheless, a caterpillar."

55
00:06:29,583 --> 00:06:32,458
"I write and my heart burns,"

56
00:06:32,875 --> 00:06:34,750
"like when I think of you."

57
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:38,000
"I imagine that people's love"

58
00:06:38,792 --> 00:06:41,833
"form the core of the sun,"

59
00:06:42,292 --> 00:06:44,792
"meant to keep alive�� 
solar system."

60
00:06:56,167 --> 00:06:59,708
<i>The black cat perceived
wrong the meaning of the words.</i>

61
00:07:00,167 --> 00:07:03,167
<i>This hermetic language
it was not what he was looking for.</i>

62
00:07:28,833 --> 00:07:31,083
<i>The third and last strange,</i>

63
00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:32,625
<i>it was the devil.</i>

64
00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:36,458
To be able to hope
that you get something from him,</i>

65
00:07:36,625 --> 00:07:39,917
You had to give him a grade
from the music of your soul

66
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:40,583
The devil was once upon a time
a burlesque magician.</i>

67
00:08:41,083 --> 00:08:43,875
<i>Tired of two-penny shows,</i>

68
00:08:44,917 --> 00:08:47,792
He started to dream
to true magic.</i>

69
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:52,583
He left his family for
to join the Blue Theatre

70
00:08:53,292 --> 00:08:55,958
<i>where he acquired real powers.</i>

71
00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:58,875
<i>But he was never happy again.</i>

72
00:09:07,042 --> 00:09:08,917
<i>The devil told the cat</i>

73
00:09:09,250 --> 00:09:11,458
<i>c�, at sunset,</i>

74
00:09:11,958 --> 00:09:15,167
The black hat
He will carry his soul.</i>

75
00:09:37,625 --> 00:09:41,000
Here it is,

76
00:09:41,167 --> 00:09:45,625
my most precious possession.

77
00:09:48,167 --> 00:09:50,833
<i>The cat gave it away 
all the notes of the soul.</i>

78
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,208
<i>The devil had tricked her well,</i>

79
00:09:53,792 --> 00:09:57,417
<i>offering him in return,
a piece of dirty ground.</i>

80
00:09:57,917 --> 00:09:59,500
<i>He was desperate�.</i>

81
00:10:00,458 --> 00:10:03,542
It was actually his birthday 
of a girl.</i>

82
00:10:04,292 --> 00:10:08,458
<i>The black cat disguised itself,
so as not to be recognized.</i>

83
00:10:09,917 --> 00:10:13,625
He would have wanted to give it to them
the most precious thing in the world.</i>

84
00:10:14,333 --> 00:10:18,417
<i>But he felt that he had failed
in totality.</i>

85
00:10:22,167 --> 00:10:26,417
He once found a girl
a black cat.</i>

86
00:10:27,792 --> 00:10:31,000
<i>They became the best
friends in the world.</i>

87
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:33,042
<i>Since a while �but�,</i>

88
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:37,417
The black cat was laying
strange things in the girl's bed.</i>

89
00:10:38,208 --> 00:10:39,625
<i>A wounded bird,</i>

90
00:10:39,792 --> 00:10:41,375
<i>some dead,</i>

91
00:10:41,708 --> 00:10:43,333
<i>a frozen snake.</i>

92
00:10:44,333 --> 00:10:46,125
<i>The girl was terrified.</i>

93
00:10:46,292 --> 00:10:48,958
<i>�He told her that the cat is diabolical�.</i>

94
00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:52,875
<i>So he moved away from her.</i>

95
00:10:54,167 --> 00:10:56,833
<i>The black cat didn't understand
that the girl no longer loved her

96
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,083
<i>�and he left.</i>

97
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,458
Are you looking for me?

98
00:11:27,875 --> 00:11:31,250
Yes, a friend has
a gift for you

99
00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:33,208
It's under the hat.

100
00:11:54,833 --> 00:11:56,833
Welcome. goodbye
