It is the summer of 1983. Elio, a 17-year-old Jewish Italo-French young man, lives with his parents in rural Northern Italy. Elio's father, a professor of archaeology, invites a 24-year-old American graduate student, Oliver, who is also Jewish, to live with the family over the summer and help with his academic paperwork. Elio, an introspective bibliophile and a talented musician, initially thinks he has little in common with Oliver, who appears confident and carefree. Elio spends much of the summer reading, playing piano, and hanging out with his childhood friends, Chiara and Marzia. During a volleyball match, Oliver touches Elio's back as a sign of interest but Elio brushes it off. However, Elio later finds himself jealous upon seeing Oliver pursue Chiara.
