In 1965, Elio was eighteen years old and had just moved to Turin. Through a collage of letters from his parents, his friend Nino and his lover Raffaella, this impressive film brings his world back to life. Sketching out the story of a restless and rebellious youth, torn between responsibility and pleasure, Dear Monster immerses us in a heady tale that features an unexpectedly poignant conclusion.
