讲述关于著名摔角家族冯·埃里希一家真实而悲惨的故事，他们在1980年代初的摔角界创造历史、开启王朝，几兄弟在擂台上所向披靡，而这个家庭内部却始终笼罩不幸，六兄弟中的长子幼年因溺水早逝，其他几位做出一番成就但又相继因吸毒过量、车祸、药物过量、抑郁症自杀而去，最终只剩次子凯文，他在摔角界闯出了精彩的职业生涯，退役后也家庭美满、事业有成。。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.。
