Two teenagers, both with cystic fibrosis, are in the same hospital wing and meet and fall in love. Their disease is terminal, they almost never leave the hospital because their treatments go on around the clock, and they have a very short life expectancy. And they aren't allowed to get within six feet of each other because they could transfer some components of their disease to each other.

So, how do you pack a lifetime of loving someone into a couple of months before you die? And how do you manage this from six feet away?

Before I started watching this movie I thought it's probably going to have the saddest ending. [Big Grin]

It's a really good story. I enjoyed this one immensely. No shooting, no car chases.
