Storyline
Lianna and her husband Dick has been married for a few years but the mariage isn't a happy one, since Dick treats her with arrogance. One day Lianna falls in love - with Ruth, a teacher. The people who know them behave very diffently: her husband with feelings of sexual betrayal, her children with curiosity and Lianna's friends with ambivalence.

Trivia
John Sayles had written the screenplay for this film before writing the screenplay for his debut film, _Return of the Secaucus 7 (1980)_. Sayles failed to get funding for a film about a lesbian love affair in the 1970s, and those who felt comfortable with the material were not comfortable with the film being directed by a man. So, Sayles put the Lianna screenplay on hold until gaining success with his two first films, Return of the Secaucus 7 and Baby It's You. See more »Crazy Credits
