You think a few weeks of social distancing is hard? Imagine it being your entire life. In Five Feet Apart, two teens with cystic fibrosis fall for each other. Their relationship grows closer and closer, but there's a catch: their health depends on them staying six feet apart from each other at all times. Despite the risk to their lives, they decide to test the waters of what life could be with less distance between them.
