Film Pitch

A runaway girl (female protagonist) has a terminal illness... Parkinson's? OR Alzheimers/ Degenerative brain disorder?
The film progresses into a boy meets girl romance with a twist.... (The twist comes from the fact that she hides the truth abut one of the most important, life changing things in her life.... Her terminal illness!)
She wants to escape the horrors of hospital life and coping with her illness, so hides the truth from him (male protagonist) as she wants to be treated a normal by others for once. Eventually her illness becomes too severe, he learns the secrets she has been hiding from him. Not much time is left before se becomes too weak and passes. The memories she leaves with him are those that she intended to leave, of her new false life in which her personality glows despite being held back by terminal illness.

One problem with this idea is that it will be hard to find actors at this level who are willing to play these roles and I don't want the trailer to be cringy, so to bypass this problem we could only include small snippets of the male protagonist, in a tasteful, subtle way.
