Plot – Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop CafeThe tale is a story of two women – of the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth – who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder.
В 1985 году в Бирмингеме домохозяйка Эвелин Коуч вынуждена навещать свою свекровь в доме престарелых. У них напряжённые отношения, и Эвелин, стараясь избежать её, встречается с ещё одной жительницей дома престарелых, которую зовут Нинни Тредгуд. Та начинает рассказывать Эвелин истории из своей жизни в городке Полустанке в глубинке Алабамы, начиная с 1920-х.
