简介
永塞（朴建衡 饰）在一次舞蹈比赛中被对手故意弄伤，自此被迫放弃跳舞事业，终日无所事事。经营舞蹈室的老板不忍永塞浪费了才华，邀请永塞重出江湖，更安排了一名从中国吉林的朝鲜族女孩张彩敏作为永塞的舞伴。永塞十分重视舞伴的到来，他也希望这是他重振名声的机会。当他亲自迎接舞伴时，到来的却是彩敏的妹妹彩琳（文根英 饰），因为姐姐快要出嫁了，彩琳便代替了姐姐。
令永塞十分震惊的是，彩琳对舞蹈一窍不通，感觉被骗了的永塞愤怒之极。距离全国大赛只有三个月的时间，永塞决定将彩琳训练为舞蹈的高手……。Disarmingly realistic in its depiction of the realities of frontier life, Heartland is a strong antidote to the cliches of traditional Westerns. This semi-documentary slice of life is based on the diaries of Elmore Randall Stewart about her days on the Wyoming frontier in the early 20th century. It's a strongly feminist statement about a woman raising her small daughter alone and scrapping for a living by working for a shy Scottish rancher. Director Richard Pearce brings an endearing touch to a film that is helped greatly by the dazzling cinematography of Fred Murphy. Conchata Ferrell and Rip Torn star in this small film that substitutes veracity for a high-powered plot. Pearce worked as a cinematographer on Woodstock and other documentaries before making his directorial debut.
Winner of the 1980 Berlin Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival。
