Call Me by Your Name (film) It is the summer of 1983. Elio, a 17-year-old Jewish-American youth, lives with his parents in rural Northern Italy. Elio's father, a professor of archaeology, invites a 24-year-old Jewish-American graduate student, Oliver, to live with the family over the summer and help with his academic paperwork. Elio, an introspective bibliophile and a talented musician, initially finds little in common with Oliver, who has a contrastingly carefree and exuberant personality. Elio resents having to give up his bedroom for Oliver for the duration of his stay. Elio spends much of the summer reading, playing piano, and hanging out with his girlfriend, Marzia. Meanwhile, Oliver expresses attraction for one of the local girls, much to Elio's annoyance.
