Summary

In the summer of 1983, 17-year-old Elio spends his days in Northern Italy reading, playing music, and spending time with friends. When Oliver, a confident graduate student, arrives to assist Elio's father, Elio finds himself drawn to him. Their connection grows through shared moments, but emotions run high as they navigate desire, heartbreak, and self-discovery. By summer's end, Elio is left reflecting on the intensity of their bond and the impact it had on him.

Hot Take

Call Me By Your Name isn’t a love story, it’s a thesis on how first love feels like summer: lush, fleeting, and destined to burn you when it ends.
