    Summary

    Oliver never gets the chance to go to Italy in 1983. Instead, he meets Elio for the first time on a spring evening in 1988. They are attracted to each other like magnets, but life’s impossibilities pull them apart in the morning. To make it easier to say goodbye, Oliver suggests a pact to meet ten years later; same time, same place.

    Takes place in two timelines: on May 16th, 1988, and on the same day in 1998.

    Summary

    It’s 2007 and Oliver’s short visit to B. is over. Elio doesn’t expect to hear from him again - at least not for another few years, where their lives might once more cross paths, though barely touch.

    But a week later, an email arrives in Elio’s inbox that gives a glimmer of hope that something has been stirred inside of Oliver. Their correspondence continues briefly, and eventually leads the old lovers back to Rome.

    It is here that the pair learn of all that they have missed; the struggles and the heartache of a life apart.

    Can they reconcile a relationship so battered by the effects of time and distance and longing? Or will Rome end how Rome always ends? With a "later!" that really means "goodbye."
