Israel, 2025, 3.56 minutes, Hebrew with Hebrew subtitles

In the song and music video, Yuval explores his relationship with his mother — from childhood to the present day — from a personal and proud perspective. Beyond the personal connection, Yuval also examines the relationship between gay men and their mothers in general — a unique and often very strong bond, with a very deep understanding that begins already from the closet and continues through later stages. Questions about the closet arise already in childhood — “You didn’t always know, but you guessed, I’m sure.” Issues of body image during adolescence are also addressed — “Carelessly plucking hairs — you came with tweezers and shaped my eyebrows.” There’s also the need to help his mother understand the difficulty of finding a partner within the community — “When you ask about a boyfriend, you want me to be happy. What can I do, Mom, when I have nothing at all?” It’s hard for me with boys, and it’s hard for boys with me. I wish it were easier; I’d bring him to Friday dinner.” The video itself is colorful — in terms of backgrounds, styling, and imagery: a pile of laundry, sitting on a chair in a classroom, a bathroom — images from childhood, colors, and desire.
