The Last Dream (Italian : L'ultimo sogno) is a 1921 Italian silent film directed by Roberto Roberti and starring Francesca Bertini. [1]
Maria (portrayed by Francesca Bertini) is forced to flee her village after the suicide of her lover’s wife. She begins anew in a small fishing community, where she meets and marries Guglielmo (Mario Parpagnoli), a naval officer. As they embark on their honeymoon at sea, her former lover Giovanni (Giorgio Bonaiti) reappears and confronts Guglielmo about Maria’s past. In a tragic altercation, Guglielmo kills Giovanni but also loses his love for Maria. Consumed by despair, Maria throws herself into the sea just as his ship is about to depart.
