[4] Filming took place in
Pittsburgh, United States and
Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The story takes place in Indianapolis, United States and is told from
the viewpoint of sixteen-year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster, an intelligent
and sarcastic young teen coping with long-term
thyroid cancer.
Distressed by Hazel's private nature, Hazel's mother urges Hazel to
attend a cancer patients' support group at a local church in order to
make friends, a request Hazel reluctantly accepts.
At the support group, Hazel garners the attention of a teenage boy
named Augustus Waters, whose unyielding stare frightens yet intrigues
her. Amidst group discussion, Augustus confesses to the members that his
greatest fear is "oblivion", an answer which Hazel combats as foolish.
The two bond immediately after the meeting and Augustus invites Hazel to
his house.
In Augustus' basement, the two confide their experiences with cancer. Augustus explains his osteosarcoma which is luckily in
remission but has led to the
amputation
of his leg. Before departing, the two agree to read each other's
favorite novels. Hazel recommends to Augustus, "An Imperial Affliction,"
a novel that follows a cancer-stricken girl named Anna and parallels
Hazel's own philosophies, stresses, and experiences regarding illness.
Augustus finishes reading "An Imperial Affliction," but is frustrated
upon learning that the novel ends mid-sentence. Hazel verifies the
cliffhanger ending and explains to Augustus that the novel's mysterious
author, Peter Van Houten, had fled to
Amsterdam after the novel's publishing and has not been heard from since nor has explained the novel cryptic halt.
Weeks later, Augustus reveals to Hazel that he has tracked down Van
Houten's assistant, Lidewij, and through her has managed to start email
correspondence with Van Houten. Hazel writes to Van Houten with
questions regarding the novel's ending and outcomes. Van Houten
eventually replies, but explains he can only answer Hazel in person and
invites Hazel to visit him in Amsterdam where he promises to address her
directly.
Hazel proposes the trip to her mother, but is rejected due to
financial constraints. Later, Augustus surprises Hazel with tickets to
Amsterdam, attained through a charitable make-a-wish foundation. The two
bond closer amidst Hazel's concern over her health.
Days before the trip, Hazel suffers an episode of
pleural effusion and is sent to the
ICU,
prompting her doctors to question the safety of Hazel travelling
overseas. The medical team argues against the trip but eventually
complies with Hazel's parents to accommodate her travel.
Hazel and Augustus finally meet Van Houten but are shocked to find
that, instead of a prolific genius, Van Houten is a mean-spirited drunk.
Lidewij confesses to having arranged the meeting on his behalf,
angering Van Houten, who proceeds to insult Hazel's cancer and refuses
to answer any of her questions. The two leave Van Houten's in
disappointment.
Accompanied by Lidewij, Hazel and Augustus visit the
Anne Frank house.
Hazel struggles to climb the house's vaulting staircases but finally
succeeds in doing so. At the end of the tour, Augustus and Hazel share a
romantic kiss. They then head back to the hotel and make love for the
first time.
The following day, Augustus confesses that a recent
CT scan revealed his cancer to have
relapsed entirely. Resolute, the two affirm their love and support for each other.
Upon returning to Indianapolis, Augustus' health worsens
significantly. In his final days Augustus arranges a pre-funeral for
himself requesting that Isaac—Augustus' best friend—and Hazel speak
eulogies for him to witness firsthand. Hazel quotes Van Houten about
"larger and smaller infinities" and confides that she would not trade
their short time together for anything in the world. Augustus dies eight
days later.
At the funeral, Hazel is astonished to find Van Houten in attendance.
Van Houten explains that he and Gus maintained correspondence since
Amsterdam and that Augustus had demanded Van Houten make up for ruining
their trip by attending his funeral. Van Houten confides in Hazel that
his novel is based entirely on his own daughter, Anna who died from
cancer herself at a young age. In forgiveness, Van Houten attempts to
reveal the fate of Anna's mother, but Hazel, still upset with his
behavior, asks him to leave her.
Days later, Lidewij contacts Hazel via email, revealing that Augustus
had asked Van Houten for assistance in writing a eulogy for Hazel. The
novel concludes with Hazel reading Augustus' words to Van Houten, in
which Augustus confides his acceptance of death and his love for Hazel, a
sentiment which Hazel returns.
