*Contains Spoilers!!*
In the movie Stardust, the main characters Tristan and Yvaine stay together at an inn right outside of Tristan's hometown. There is a scene where Yvaine is bathing, then Tristan comes in, and the scene cuts to the next morning where she is laying in bed, and the other side is empty, where obviously Tristan ended up sleeping the night before.
The implied sex between these two greatly affects the plot, as it solidifies their romance and love for each other. The movie started out with Tristan going to collect a star for his "love," and the implied sex shows the complete shift from a quest for Tristan's "love," to him falling in love with the object of his quest.
This scene also shows viewers the shift in Yvaine's mindset to loving Tristan. At first, her only desire was to return to the sky, from where she fell down to this earth. But this scene indicates her shift from a desire to go "home," to stay with Tristan, and keep this love that she has found.
Even though the sex in this case wasn't explicitly described or shown, it clearly affected the characterization of Tristan and Yvaine by signifying the drastic, unexpected shifts for each of them in their mindsets, and goals for the rest of the movie.
