Riverdale actor Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson star in the tearjerker Five Feet Apart as Stella and Will, two incredibly high-spirited teenagers battling the same disease: cystic fibrosis. When they encounter each other, sparks immediately fly; but their disease imposes a restriction… They need to stay six feet apart at all times. As their emotional connection increases, their will power decreases, and all those months in the hospital, loads of medications, daily routines and a lung transplant on the horizon could all be thrown out the window. While Five Feet Apart may be a powerful love story, it extends beyond that to illustrate how a disease doesn’t define a person.
