A love story between seventeen-year-old Elio (Timothée Chalamet) and graduate student Oliver (Armie Hammer), and set in 1983 \"somewhere in northern Italy\", \u003cem\u003eCall Me by Your Name\u003c\/em\u003e presents a gay relationship in a romantic idyll seemingly untroubled by outside pressures, prejudices, or tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this means it offers audiences welcome opportunities to swoon in front of an LGBTQ+ romance that equals classic heterosexual romances onscreen, its relevance or political significance today may not be immediately apparent.
