Ruthie and Connie are in many ways typical Jewish New York women. They married in the 1950s, became housewives and mothers and eventually divorced their husbands in the following decades. But in 1974, Ruthie and Connie fell in love with one another, an act of fate that eventually transformed these typical women into elderly gay rights activists. This documentary follows the couple as they struggle with homophobia, depression and the politics of being an openly lesbian couple.
