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。上个世纪70年代末，居住在小县城里的勤劳妇女李新茹，在丈夫工伤去世、家庭的顶梁柱折断后，并没有放弃对生活信念，也没有被悲惨的命运折服，而是坚强独立、开朗乐观地继续拼搏。她含辛茹苦地把五个孩子抚养成人，并帮一直待嫁闺中的小姑子，找到幸福的归宿。李新茹的孩子们长大后，各自建立起自己的事业家庭；在这个过程中，李新茹也收获着酸甜苦辣，并与支教老师韩超，经历了一场长达十年的爱情长跑。最终，李新茹终于完成了自己的人生“使命”，也终于收获了与韩超的感情。。
