In “Ambatya” (Bathtub), Yuval Gilboa’s first clip, a gay relationship is presented, perhaps romantic, perhaps casual and friendly.

“Miracle” delves into the hidden aspects of ourselves – the parts we often avoid but are essential for true growth, development, and happiness. Like shadows, they linger, unnoticed yet ever-present, quietly asking for recognition and expression. These parts don’t fade; instead, they intensify, demanding attention in any way they can, saying, “I am here.” When we finally have the courage to face these darker parts of ourselves, walls fall, and a healthier, truer present begins to take shape.
