Draft:Adamants letztes Rennen

Adamants letztes Rennen (English translation: Adamant's Last Race) is a 1916 German silent melodrama film directed by Max Mack and starring Maria Orska and Hugo Flink. Jules Greenbaum produced the film.

Plot
A rather young Christine Wendeborg has fallen in love with the dashing Axel Söderström, but her worried father is intuitively against their union. Yet Christine can think of being with no one other than Söderström. She runs away with him and they both get married. Axel does not value Christine's love and cheats on her. So heart broken is Christine that she dies a short time later. Christine had a lookalike stepsister, Eva. Years pass and Söderström has acquired a successful horse racing stable. When Eva and Axel meet, he falls in love with the apparent reincarnation of his dead wife.

Eva, who was warned by Christine's father about the unfaithful Söderström, sees the opportunity to take revenge for Christine's untimely death and marries Axel with the sole goal of leading him to ruin. By doing all at her disposal, she actually succeeds in this. The last ace up Söderström's sleeve, his magnificent racehorse Adamant, doesn't work either, losing his race. Söderström is now bankrupt and sees no other option than to shoot himself. Only after he is gone does Eva realize that she had truly grown to to love this man. As a result, she kills herself too.
