It's the hot summer of 1983. The sensitive and cultivated 17 year-old Elio is carefree in his family's leafy villa in Lombardy, Italy. When not indulging himself on the piano, listening to music, reading books and swimming, the nights are spent in festive revelry and coy flirting with girls. A handsome, self-confident, spontaneous and good-looking graduate student Oliver joins them as his professor father's summer intern. Elio finds himself drawn into an inexorable current of emotions, and a fervent romance that defies the bittersweet gaze of time unexpectedly blossoms. Together with Thai cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, director Luca Guadagnino dives into the heady romance of André Aciman’s novel in all its sun-drenched splendor.
