Made for only $350,000 in 1985 when no one wanted to fund or star in a movie about lesbians, Desert Hearts is widely considered the first full-length lesbian love story, and its success paved the way for the proliferation of lesbian films we enjoy today. Directed by Donna Deitch and set in 1950's Reno, Nevada, Desert Hearts tells the story of a 35-year-old uptight female professor Vivian (Helen Shaver) who comes to town to file for divorce and ends up falling in love with a free-spirited 25-year-old casino worker Cay (Patricia Charbonneau). Although Vivian left her husband because she had "drowned in still waters," she is not quite prepared for the tidal wave-effect Cay has on her life. As Vivian herself admits, her life is all about "order," and her image of herself as a scholar and a professional, upstanding woman does not include a relationship with a woman. Cay, meanwhile, is living at home with her stepmother, Frances (Audra Lindley) while she waits to meet someone who "counts"--and she almost immediately recognizes that Vivian is that someone. Both women struggle with conflicting desires and a sense of obligation to others, and are ultimately drawn together not just because of their attraction to each other, but because each woman offers the other something she has been unable to find on her own.。当玛格德莱娜的十五岁生日即将来临之际,她的脑海漫漫都是男朋友、成人式打扮以及她希望能够在这特别的日子里出现的豪华轿车。在这个洛杉叽回音公园附近的社区中,生活看上去无比简单,直到命运带来了意外的转折——玛格德莱娜发现自己怀孕了!这一意外在这个虔诚的天主教家庭中掀起轩然大波,玛格德莱娜被扫地出门。女孩幸运地得到了曾叔祖父托马斯的收留,再加上因为同志身份遭到父母拒绝的表兄卡洛斯,三个人组成了一个临时家庭,然而他们必须面对的不仅包括社区居民的歧视,还有社区改造活动带来的威胁……。
