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.。美国，某城市近郊。 已准备在伦敦一家医院供职的汉科，携5岁的儿子丹尼到好友理查家话别。此间，巧遇好友的妻子格雷斯分娩，接生的汉科发现脐带缠住婴儿的脖子，危急中，丹尼在父亲的授意下，将小手伸进产妇的体内将脐带解开，使格雷斯顺利产下一可爱的女婴，取名安娜。此时丹尼看着小安娜，一个奇特的想法油然而生，“我要娶她”这句话当众脱口而出。 二十年后，丹尼从英国回到熟悉的小镇，并与安娜不期而遇……。
