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1921一年，艾娃（玛丽昂·歌迪亚 Marion Cotillard 饰）和姐姐玛格达（安吉拉·萨拉弗安 Angela Sarafyan 饰）经受不住繁华都市的霓虹诱惑，启程从波兰前往纽约淘金。半路上，玛格达不幸患上了当时是不治之症的肺结核，因此而被医生隔离在了位于埃利斯岛上的医院之中，情同手足的姐妹两人就此分道扬镳。 来到纽约之后，艾娃才发现，这里的一切远不如幻想中的美好，她不幸的落入了皮条客布鲁诺（华金·菲尼克斯 Joaquin Phoenix 饰）的手中，成为了一名妓女。艾娃的生活中充满了伤痛和屈辱，能够再次和姐姐相见成为了她心中的唯一信念。一次偶然中，艾娃结识了名叫奥兰多（杰瑞米·雷纳 Jeremy Renner 饰）的魔术师，善良的奥兰多让艾娃明白，他可能是自己迈向新生活的唯一跳板。。
