Toward the end, Elio returns home to his empty bedroom, wearing Billowy. This shot destroys me and reminds me of this part of the novel:

“The symmetry of it all, or was it the emptied, seemingly ransacked neatness of his room, tied a knot in my throat. It reminded me less of a hotel room when you wait for the porter to help you take your things downstairs after a glorious stay that was ending too soon, than of a hospital room after all your belongings have been packed away, while the next patient, who hasn’t been admitted yet, still waits in the emergency room exactly as you waited there yourself a week earlier.”

Call Me By Your Name, Andre Aciman
