Short description
Seventeen-year-old Stella spends most of her time in the hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient. Her life is full of routines, boundaries and self-control — all of which get put to the test when she meets Will, an impossibly charming teen who has the same illness. There's an instant flirtation, though restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between them. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace that attraction.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film states that the main characters should stay 1.5 meters apart. Shortly after, Stella says she wants to steal one meter from the illness and reduces the distance to the length of a hockey stick (1.42 meters), but it becomes unclear which meter Stella stole, given the difference is only 8 centimeters. In fact, everything is due to an incorrect adaptation in the translation and different systems of measurement. The distance that patients with cystic fibrosis should maintain is equal to 6 feet (1.83 meters), while the length of a hockey stick is 4.66 feet (1.42 meters). Therefore, Stella reduced the distance by 1.34 feet (0.41 meters), which she "stole from the illness".
- The filmmakers worked closely with Claire's Place Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping those with life-limiting illnesses, founded by Claire Wineland (1997-2018). The film's authors and actors tried to describe cystic fibrosis (a systemic hereditary disease caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene and characterized by damage to the glands of external secretion) as accurately as possible.
- The film states that the main characters must stay 1.5 meters apart. Later, Stella says she wants to steal one meter from the disease, reducing the distance to the length of a cue (1.42 meters), but it becomes unclear which meter Stella stole, given the difference is only 8 centimeters. In fact, the issue stems from an incorrect translation adaptation and different systems of measurement. The distance that cystic fibrosis patients must maintain is 6 feet (1.83 meters), while the length of a cue is 4.66 feet (1.42 meters), meaning Stella reduced the distance by 1.34 feet (0.41 meters), which is what she “stole from the disease.”
