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.。尼基金是—名苏联作家，应汉堡文学俱乐部的邀请前往西德参加东西方作家“友好讨论会”。影片以尼基金到汉堡访问为情节主线，回溯了1945年反法西斯胜利前夕，苏军炮兵中尉尼基金在进驻德国时同，当地少女艾玛的一段恋情。当时的环境使—对年青人的幸福不可能实现，冷战又把他们分割在两个世界。到了70年代，东西方实现了对话和交流，这对年近半百的情侣才得以重逢。透过主人公记忆的薄雾，银幕诗意地层现出年青的苏联军官尼基金和德国姑娘艾玛的爱情憧憬，以及多年后相逢时珍藏在内心的神奇迷离的梦幻。影片结束时，尼基金怀着对艾玛的复杂而又痛苦的情感飞离汉堡，机舱中他心脏病发作，在梦游天国彼岸的幻境中死去。。
