There, 17-year-old Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet) spends his days at his family’s villa, playing classical music, reading and flirting with his girlfriend Marzia (Esther Garrel); When Oliver (Armie Hammer), a charming American scientist preparing for his Ph.D., arrives as the annual summer intern assigned to help Elio’s father, this summer will change their lives forever. The film is based on the adaptation of André Aciman’s book of the same name and was nominated for three Golden Globes: Best Motion Picture Drama, Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama (Timothe Salamet) and Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Armie Hammer).
