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.。影片把焦点集中在城市——以抗战时代中六个最重要的城市为主角：北平、上海、武汉、重庆、昆明、延安。在八年抗战不同的阶段，这些城市扮演了特殊的角色，经历了不同的命运，那么生活在其中的普通人又经历了怎样的日常？他们如何在战局的变化、物价的波动的日常中吃喝拉撒睡，打发那黑暗中的一时一刻？如何在胜利那一刻尽情渲泄自己压抑已久的激情？如何在胜利后收拾心情踏上重整家园之路？。
