The Fault in Our Stars (2014) is a poignant and heart-wrenching romantic drama based on the bestselling novel by John Green. Directed by Josh Boone, the film follows the emotional and life-affirming journey of two teenagers, Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort), who meet at a cancer support group and develop a deep, transformative bond.

Hazel, a 16-year-old with cancer, has spent much of her life battling the disease and navigating the emotional toll it takes on her and her family. Despite her illness, she has a sharp wit and a love for literature, particularly a book called An Imperial Affliction by an enigmatic author named Peter Van Houten. When Hazel meets Augustus, a charming and optimistic boy in remission from osteosarcoma, their connection is instant, and they quickly bond over their shared experiences with illness and their mutual love for the novel.

As their relationship blossoms, the two teens embark on a trip to Amsterdam to meet the reclusive author of An Imperial Affliction. However, their journey leads them to unforeseen challenges, forcing them to confront the realities of life, love, and mortality. Through their story, the film explores themes of living with illness, the impact of love on personal growth, and the preciousness of life in the face of inevitable loss.
