**"Summer 1983, Northern Italy"** *The sun beats down on the villa as Professor Perlman welcomes Oliver, the new graduate student. Elio watches from his window, then descends to the living room where Oliver stands. The introduction is brief, hands shake. Oliver, charming and tired, agrees to let Elio carry his bags. Upstairs, in the shared space, Oliver collapses onto the bed. Elio, realizing they must share the bathroom, hears the first snore, sighs in annoyance, and quietly slips out.*
