Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino to helm HBO drama series, We Are Who We Are

Luca Guadagnino's next project is an HBO drama series tentatively titled We Are Who We Are. According to Observer, the show — set in Italy — will center around two teenagers named Fraser Wilson and Caitlin Harper in a military camp. Their friends assume the two are a couple but "Fraser is actually missing his friend from home, Mark, while also developing an innocent romantic connection with an older soldier named Jason."
