In “Five Feet Apart”, two teenagers, Stella Grant and Will Newman, find themselves caught between the desire for love and the harsh realities of their lives. Both suffer from cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening disease that requires them to maintain a strict distance from each other to avoid cross-infection. Their lives, confined to hospital rooms and daily medical routines, are turned upside down when they meet and develop an undeniable connection.

Despite the doctor’s orders to stay apart, Stella and Will defy the rules of their illness. As their bond deepens, the film beautifully explores the complexities of love, sacrifice, and the limitations imposed by illness. The title, “Five Feet Apart,” refers to the physical distance they must keep to protect their health, yet this small gap becomes symbolic of the emotional and personal struggles they face.

The story is a moving portrayal of how people living with chronic illness navigate love, friendship, and the wish to live life to the fullest. Will they manage to overcome the walls of fear and health restrictions standing in the way of their love, or will fate separate them forever?
