Five Feet Apart

Five Feet Apart is a 2019 coming-of-age romantic drama film about Stella and Will, two teenagers with cystic fibrosis. They meet in a hospital during treatment and fall in love. Because their lung condition makes them vulnerable to dangerous cross-infections, they must stay physically apart, challenging their relationship and desire for human touch. Directed by Justin Baldoni. Written by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis. Stella Grant This whole time I’ve been living for my treatments, instead of doing my treatments so that I can live. I wanna live. Our first form of communication. Safety, security, comfort, all in the gentle caress of a finger. Or the brush of lips on a soft cheek. It connects us when we're happy, bolsters us in times of fear, excites us in times of passion and love. We need that touch from the one we love almost as much as we need air to breathe. But I never understood the importance of touch. His touch. Until I couldn't have it. So if you’re watching this, and you’re able, touch him. Touch her. Life’s too short to waste a second. Will Newman It’s just life. It’ll be over before you know it. God, you’re beautiful. And brave. I wish I could touch you. Dialogue Stella: You’re the kind of guy that ignores the rules ‘cause it makes you feel in control. Am I right? Will: You’re not wrong. Stella: You think that’s cute? Will: Do you think it’s cute? Stella: (rolling eyes) Will: You wanna hear my list? Stella: No. Will: Painting class with Bob Ross. He’s dead. Meredith: I like seeing you like this. Will: Like what? Meredith: Hopeful.
