Desert Hearts

USA, 1986. 91 mins. Wolfe Vid.

Vivian is a repressed English professor who goes to Reno for a quickie divorce in 1959. She spends the weeks waiting for her final divorce papers at a dumpy dude ranch where she meets Cay, a beautiful young casino worker. The two develop a friendship that stirs desires in Vivian that she can not deny. Slowly their attraction deepens into bold sensuality as they develop a bond that renews their hearts.
