High school can be the worst time for some people, and for Greg Gaines (Thomas Mann), it turned out to be especially horrible. His parents inform him that his classmate, Rachel Kushner (Olivia Cooke), has been diagnosed with leukemia. The two make a fast friendship out of a mutual intention to not be sympathetic, but that plan doesn't work out as well as planned. Greg and his best friend Earl make 'bad films' in their spare time, and decide to devote a film to Rachel. Unfortunately, as they specialise in bad films, they struggle to make something that will truly honour her and cheer her up.

'Me & Earl & the Dying Girl' is an upcoming comedy-drama from Alfonso Gomez-Rejon ('The Town That Dreaded Sunlight', 'American Horror Story') based on the 2012 novel of the same name from Jesse Andrews.
