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.。影片描述了一女孩从悲痛中重新找回自己的故事。1946年的马德里，茱莉亚收到她的男友死在狱中的讯息，为此悲痛不已。为了帮助自己度过这段伤心的往事，她一个人开着车，到奥地利的一个乡下小镇去，在那里她的家族有一座大庄园，有许多她儿时的美好回忆，或许能帮助她度过难关。这一座庄园是由她的姑姑，与她的媳妇、孙子一同管理着。有一天，一个陌生的年轻人来到庄园，亲手交给茱莉亚一封信，原来这个年轻人是她男友在狱中的朋友，他特地带来男友临死前所写的遗书，茱莉亚颤抖着打开了这封信……。
