F2516A The Room Next Door
Class | Registration opens Monday, September 15, 2025 10:00 AM EDT
How far would we go for a good friend? The Room Next Door engages what good friends might be asked to do for one another. At a book signing, author Ingrid (Julianne Moore) learns that her estranged friend Martha (Tilda Swinton) is fighting cancer and is moved to reconnect. In between cancer treatments, Martha shares her life story with Ingrid. "Cancer can't get me if I get me first." Would the death-phobic Ingrid help her enjoy her last days before Martha decides to end her own life?
