In 1959, repressed professor Vivian Bell (Helen Shaver) journeyed to a Nevada ranch to gain solitude-and perhaps the divorce she was mulling-and found herself slowly becoming attracted to her landlord's free-spirited and openly lesbian daughter (Patricia Charbonneau). Moving, eye-opening, and groundbreaking adaptation of Jane Rule's 1964 novel "Desert of the Heart" co-stars Audra Lindley, Gwen Welles, Dean Butler. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; featurettes.
