Meet Rafael Carmi – Aryeh’s older brother, and the invisible thread that ties this whole story together. Rafael never got to tell his story in full – but his absence is the spark that sets everything in motion.
He was sensitive, spiritual, brave — and deeply hurt. After surviving conversion therapy, he left religion and found love and freedom with Roy in Tel Aviv. But his illness cut that story short. Now, through Aryeh and Roy, his voice starts to echo again.
“Their faith was planted in me. But my own faith — I planted the day I met you.”
