A un Metro da Te

FIVE FEET APART can’t really be grouped into the “sick lit” genre. The film is based on an original script by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis. It tells about the tragic and impossible romance of Stella (Haley Lu Richardson) and Will (Cole Sprouse), two inpatients with cystic fibrosis residing at a hospital, who fall in love despite being forbidden to come within six feet of each other. CF patients can transmit infections between each other that can be fatal, and so even Stella and her long-time best friend Poe (Moisés Arias), despite having rooms down the hall from each other, primarily communicate over FaceTime. When Will arrives, he and Stella initially clash, she’s got some advanced OCD tendencies and control issues, and he’s more pessimistic about his life expectancy. Stella eventually gets him to take his treatment schedule more seriously, in exchange for Will being allowed to draw her portrait. From there the two fall in love...
In my opinion this movie teaches us to live as fully as possible even when we are sick.
