New Line Cinema Original Film
She was a Moabite widow who chose her mother-in-law over her homeland. The loyalty she showed would become one of Scripture's most beautiful portraits of love. A faithful, intimate cinematic adaptation of the complete Book of Ruth — one of the Bible's shortest and most perfect narrative works. The film follows Ruth, a Moabite woman widowed in Moab, who chooses to follow her Israelite mother-in-law Naomi back to Bethlehem rather than return to her own family. In Bethlehem, Ruth gleans from the edges of Boaz's fields during the barley harvest. Boaz — a relative of Naomi's late husband, a man of standing and genuine goodness — notices Ruth's loyalty and character. The film follows the harvest season, the growing connection between Ruth and Boaz, Naomi's wisdom in guiding her daughter-in-law toward redemption, and the formal process by which Boaz becomes the kinsman-redeemer. The film is visual poetry about loyalty, belonging, and the specific grace of being seen. Act One — The Road Naomi's departure from Moab. Orpah's return. Ruth's speech. The road to Bethlehem. Act Two — The Harvest Ruth gleaning in Boaz's field. Boaz's notice. The specific generosity he shows that goes beyond legal requirement. Act Three — The Redemption The threshing floor. The morning. Boaz at the gate. The closer kinsman who declines. The sandal. The marriage.
