Set in the immediate post-WWII era, the story follows (John Savage), a young man who survives a Japanese POW camp and returns to his small Pennsylvania town. He is devoted to his childhood sweetheart, Maria Bosic (Nastassja Kinski).

Maria's Lovers is a 1984 American drama film directed by Andrei Konchalovsky

Upon his return, Ivan marries Maria, but his psychological trauma manifests in unexpected ways. Because he has placed Maria on an impossibly high pedestal, viewing her as an angelic, holy icon that kept him alive, he becomes psychosomatically impotent when trying to consummate their marriage. He loves her too purely to engage with her physically, a barrier that does not exist when he is with other women. This emotional and physical rift strains their marriage, opening the door for other suitors—including a wandering, smooth-talking musician named Clarence Butts (Keith Carradine)—who test Maria's loyalty and push the relationship to its absolute breaking point.
