In the American science fiction comedy horror film Something in the Dirt, the character of Levi (writer-director Justin Benson) is asexual. The film follows two neighbours who witness supernatural events in their apartment complex.
Marija Kavtaradze's stunning Lithuanian romantic drama charts the relationship of dancer Elena (Greta Grinevičiūtė) and sign language interpreter Dovydas (Kęstutis Cicėnas). Slow chronicles the couple's closeness with an exploration of how Dovydas, who is asexual, navigates intimacy.
'What I've realized, actually, is I'm an ace... Do you remember when we were together... how I could never really, like, enjoy sex?' he tells Margot.
Kavtaradze's portrayal of asexuality has been commended for its touching and meaningful representation in a film that challenges the conventional nuances of a couple.
