Free From Desire
Available in 🇺🇸 and 🇫🇷 - see below
🇺🇸 Aline, 34, has never been attracted to anyone - neither sexually nor romantically. They retrace their steps through the trials and tribulations of an adolescence steeped in supercharged pop culture messaging and explore how accepting their asexuality and aromantism allowed them to redefine what love, relationship and family mean to them.
