Description
The movie is about a 17-year-old American-Italian boy named Elio Perlman who spends his summer in Italy with his family. Elio is very smart and knows a lot about classical music and literature, but he's not very experienced with the opposite sex. One day, a young American scholar named Oliver arrives to help Elio's father with his work. Oliver is very handsome and Elio starts to develop feelings for him. The two of them start to explore their feelings for each other and eventually fall in love.
It's the summer of 1983 in the north of Italy, and Elio Perlman, a precocious 17- year-old American-Italian, spends his days in his family's 17th century villa transcribing and playing classical music, reading, and flirting with his friend Marzia. Elio enjoys a close relationship with his father, an eminent professor specializing in Greco-Roman culture, and his mother Annella, a translator, who favor him with the fruits of high culture in a setting that overflows with natural delights.
While Elio's sophistication and intellectual gifts suggest he is already a fully-fledged adult, there is much that yet remains innocent and unformed about him, particularly about matters of the heart. One day, Oliver, a charming American scholar working on his doctorate, arrives as the annual summer intern tasked with helping Elio's father.
Amid the sun-drenched splendor of the setting, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.
