Call Me By Your Name

In the organizer's words:

A hot, sun-drenched summer at Elio's parents' country estate in northern Italy in 1983. The 17-year-old listens to music and reads books, goes swimming and is bored until one day his father's new assistant from America arrives at the spacious villa. The charming Oliver, who like Elio has Jewish roots, is young, self-confident and good-looking. At first, Elio reacts to him rather coolly and defensively, but soon the two of them are taking frequent outings together and Elio begins to make hesitant advances that become increasingly intimate - even if, as Oliver says, "you can't talk about things like that". The attraction between the two becomes more and more intense over the course of the short summer.

Director Luca Guadagnino wrote the screenplay for the novel of the same name by author André Aciman together with US director James Ivory and Walter Fasano. He translates the memories of the first-person narrator Elio into calm, atmospheric images. Alongside actors Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer, the main protagonist of this drama about an unexpected coming-out is the seductive landscape.
