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.。故事发生在第二次世界大战刚刚结束之际，战争期间在前线拼杀的诺亚（克里斯·克莱因 Chris Klein 饰）退伍归乡，哪知道等待着他的并非温暖的家庭，一切都在那短短的几年间变得面目全非。诺亚的父母在战争中双双死去，弟弟也因为违法乱纪而被关进了监狱，家中的田地被变卖一空。 心灰意冷的诺亚无处可去，在一位陌生人的指引之下，他阴差阳错的来到了一个名为月光之谷的地方。在这里，诺亚邂逅了名为爱丽诺（格瑞辰·摩尔 Gretchen Mol 饰）的女子，爱丽诺尽一己之力抚养着儿子马修（扎奇·米尔斯 Zach Mills 饰）。很快，诺亚和马修之间就建立起了友谊，而他和爱丽诺之间的关系也因此渐渐亲密起来。。
