Through a powerful, emotional and melancholic romance, Call Me By Your Name tells a tale of yearning, first love and fascination. In the summer of 1983, 17-year-old Elio is spending the days with his family at their villa in Lombardy, Italy. One day, 24-year-old graduate student Oliver arrives to assist Elio’s father, altering Elio's life forever.

"In just under a decade, Call Me By Your Name has become a generation defining film, a gorgeous forbidden romance that launched lead actor Timothée Chalamet into superstardom. Come cherish its stunning Italian scenery and iconic soundtrack with us on the big screen and fall in love for the first time or all over again."
