Call Me by Your Name

During a languid summer at his family's home in northern Italy, seventeen-year-old Elio grows close to Oliver, an American graduate student staying with them, and the two fall into a brief, consuming romance before Oliver has to leave.

The film holds a first, overwhelming desire and its loss, and closes on a father's remarkable speech urging his son not to numb the pain but to feel it fully. It gives a clinician a tender model of a parent meeting a child's grief without shame. It premiered at Sundance in 2017 and won the Academy Award for its screenplay, adapted from the novel Call Me by Your Name by Andre Aciman.
