what’s this movie the fault in our stars supposed to be about and what’s that thing in that girl’s nose

Adaptation of a famous 2012 “young adult” novel. As far as I can tell from secondhand media it seems like kind of a bridge between two subgenres of YA, the old Newbery-bait “problem novel” (“I’m just a teenager, but oh no, abuse/cancer/racism/eugenics/the fucking Holocaust”) and the ‘00s Teen Paranormal Romance (“we’re just teenagers, but I found a perfect boyfriend, also he’s a vampire/werewolf/gypsy mystic/fucking literal angel”), melding them into some sort of “I’m just a teenager, but oh no, cancer, but I found a perfect boyfriend, but oh no, cancer” Frankenstein.

And it’s a nasal cannula.
