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.。该剧讲述了因为心理原因患上厌食症的大龄未婚医生陆若男,因家中催婚而让从事“生活演员”职业的蒋小戈扮演男友,两人从矛盾频频到携手相伴,都遭受过心理创伤却最终互相治愈心结。。本剧讲述了25岁普通OL海老原唯子(田边桃子饰),恋爱中总是当“配角”,自认只是“小虾米”,直到邂逅四位风格各异的魅力男性——神秘男子水沼脩(中川大辅饰)、深情的韩国留学生朴正洙(边义州饰)、稳重的青梅竹马三浦拓未(草川拓弥饰)、完美上司鲷岛亮介(樱田通饰)。面对心动与选择,海老子勇敢追寻属于自己的“鲷鱼”,展开一段甜蜜又挣扎的多重恋爱成长物语。。
