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.。公路电影也有高龄女同版，本片讲述一对秘密相恋多年的老拉拉，由于拒绝被拆散送入养老院，联袂逃跑后遭到全国通缉。在邂逅一个年轻舞男后，两位老奶奶童心未泯，连哄带骗的说服小伙子开车送她们去加拿大，希望能在那里合法结婚，一段奇特而有趣的三人公路旅行就此展开...... 本片是以《迷情花园》获多伦多人民选择奖的汤姆·菲茨杰拉德（Thom Fitzgerald）导演的最新力作，由《月色撩人》的奥斯卡影后奥林匹娅·杜卡基斯（Olympia Dukakis）主演。导演以公路浪漫喜剧的基调，讲述一对年迈拉拉与一个英俊青年结伴寻找真我和真爱的温情故事。。
