Synopsis
Evelyn, feeling stuck in middle age, meets the elderly Ninny Threadgoode, who begins to tell her life story. This tale centers on Idgie and Ruth, two spirited women who ran a cafe in 1930s Alabama, serving up barbecue, coffee, and plenty of love, even amidst occasional trouble. As the past comes alive, Evelyn's present perspective begins to shift.
