VICTORIA begins as a sex-centric woman who is unapologetic about her sexual appetite and frequent liaisons with men and women. She’s drawn to men who are a good ten+ years older than her but doesn’t realize until therapy how much this may be related to missing her own father who passed away in his forties. Her friends don’t know that she often plays guitar and sings at her father’s favorite bar in Boyle Heights and one night she bonds with one of her dad’s old friends. We’ll discover later that the man is Sid’s dad who was best friends with her father. They meet up every week, but neither tells Sid, and Victoria slowly finds herself wanting to cross the line with him, confusing their intimacy for sexual attraction. At work, too, as an assistant to a passionate female painter and her music composer wife, Vic finds herself possibly being pursued by the couple. Through all of this, the most confusing encounter is with the man she’s most attracted to: SAI MANJU. He’s absolutely perfect for her but she’s annoyed when he doesn’t hit on her, then appalled when she finds out he’s a devout Asexual. This turns her world upside down. And, she’s devastated when Sai refuses to compromise on sex. Matters become worse when Sid stumbles across Victoria with her dad consoling her then realizes they have been hiding their weekly rendezvous. When Sid freaks out, assumes the worst, and stops talking to Vic, it is a low point for Vic. It will take some inner work from Vic, but she will realize that intimacy, not sex, is what she’s always truly sought and that she, too, may want to be with Sai even without sex, and commit to a life of Asexuality.
