In 1983, gifted 17-year-old Elio Perlman spends his days in the north of Italy transcribing classical music and reading. His close relationships with his father and mother give him the fruits of high culture in a setting overflowing with natural delights. Although Elio’s sophistication suggests he is already a mature adult, he is still innocent when it comes to matters of the heart. When charming American scholar Oliver (Armie Hammer) arrives as the annual summer intern tasked with helping Elio’s father, Elio and Oliver discover a passionate and awakening desire in the blossoming of a young and new love. Based on the acclaimed novel by André Aciman, this new film by director Luca Guadagnino tells a transcendent tale of first love.
