The Fault in Our Stars
17-year-old Hazel Grace has lung cancer and needs to carry an oxygen tank with her wherever she goes. Her mother, Frannie, encourages her to join a cancer support group against her will. However, when Hazel meets 18-year-old Gus, who lost a leg to cancer but appears to have been cured, they fall in love. Hazel introduces her favorite novel to Gus and says she dreams of chatting with the author, Peter Van Houten, who lives in Amsterdam, about the novel's ending. Gus contacted Peter Van Houten through his assistant, and Van Houten invited them to visit him in Amsterdam. They travel to the Netherlands with Frannie, where Hazel will learn that Peter Van Houten is not at all what they expected.
