The story takes place on the Italian Riviera in the 1980s, and the sudden love is like a beast running out of the forest, grabbing the body and heart of the 17-year-old Elio. He fell in love with Oliver, an American doctoral student who was 6 years old and had traveled to Italy. The two were fascinated, hesitant, and tentative about each other, and let the lust burst out in a surge, and achieved a first love that lasted only six weeks. This beautiful summer love has left an indelible mark on the hearts of the two.

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME

In a town on the coast of Italy, during the eighties, Elio's family established the tradition of receiving in the summer young students or creators who, in exchange for accommodation, helped the head of the family, professor, in their cultural commitments. Oliver is the chosen one this summer, a young American writer who soon excites Elio's imagination. Over the next few weeks, the hidden impulses of obsession and fear, fascination and desire will intensify your passion.

"THEN!" A word, an expression, an attitude.

I had never heard anyone use "then" to say goodbye. I found it harsh, dry and contemptuous, said with the veiled indifference of someone who would care not to see you again or not to know anything about you.

arisco adj. Unsociable

despectivo adj. pejorative

It is the first memory I have of him and I can still hear it today. "Then!"

I close my eyes, pronounce the word and I am back in the Italy of so many years ago, walking along the tree-lined sidewalk and watching him get out of the taxi in a bluish shirt with a wavy print, with his collars wide open, sunglasses, a straw hat and a lot of skin in sight. Suddenly he shakes my hand, hands me his backpack, takes the luggage out of the trunk of the taxi and asks me if my father is home.

Acera arbolada boulevard

Maybe it all started precisely there and at that moment: the shirt, the sleeves rolled up, the rounded pulpejos of his heel that escape from the worn espadrilles, eager to taste the warm gravel of the road that leads to our house and asking with each stride where he goes to the beach.

remangado adj. Rolled up

This summer's guest. Another pelmazo.

Huesped n.m. tenant
