In 19th century France, distinguished, well-bred Ryno de Marigny attempts to remain faithful to his wife Hermangarde, a highly regarded young woman of the French aristocracy. When his tempestuous Spanish mistress Vellini (Asia Argento) reappears, offering him the passion and emotional connection he lacks in his marriage, he falls to temptation. His reluctant obsession with Vellini eventually overtakes his conscience, as he succumbs to the deceitful path of infidelity. THE LAST MISTRESS is an explicit period drama that explores the changing dynamics of power, sexuality and the ramifications of female desire.
