Ruthie & Connie: Every Room in the House

1959: A working class Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. Two young married women, both raising children, meet and become friends — and soon after, the best of friends. They are Ruthie Berman and Connie Kurtz, conventional housewives of the 1950’s, with two noteworthy exceptions: their passionate interest in community issues gradually turns them into community leaders … and their passionate interest in each other suddenly turns their world upside down. This is a film about love and friendship — and the price two women paid to be themselves.
