The film stars Dennis Hopper, Amy Irving (Barreto's then wife), Gary Busey, and Amy Locane. The tagline reads "No love is safe from desire".
Joseph Svenden is a middle-aged schoolteacher who lives on a farm with his dying mother. In his simple life there is no excitement, even in his long-time relationship with a widow. However, when a beautiful 17-year-old girl enrolls in his class, life takes an unexpected turn. She boards her horse in his barn, and they flirt. They carry on a furtive relationship which leaves him torn between passion and knowing that he is doing something wrong. When their relationship becomes public, many different reactions ensue.

Bruno Barreto directed his wife Amy Irving in a sex scene with Dennis Hopper, which was later edited. "You wouldn't believe what was cut," Irving said. "Sometimes I couldn't believe what he was asking me to do."[2]
