<P> Elio , a 17 - year - old Jewish - American - Italian youth , lives with his parents in rural Northern Italy . His father , a professor of archaeology , invites a 24 - year - old Jewish - American graduate student , Oliver , to live with him and his family over the summer and help with his academic paperwork . Elio , an introspective bibliophile and musical prodigy , initially finds little in common with Oliver , who has a contrastingly carefree and exuberant personality . Elio resents having to give up his bedroom for Oliver for the duration of his stay . He spends much of the summer reading , playing piano , and hanging out with his girlfriend , Marzia . Oliver is meanwhile attracted to one of the local girls , much to Elio 's annoyance . </P>
