Drama basado en un relato de Stendhal (Crónicas italianas, 1829). Vanina Vanini, la hija de un aristócrata, se enamora perdidamente de Pietro Missirilli, un joven que pertenece a la sociedad secreta de los carbonarios, patriotas italianos que luchan contra la tiranía austríaca. Ambos personajes son incompatibles: Missirilli encarna la pasión por la libertad, que está por encima del amor. La pasión de Vanina es, en cambio, menos noble: para ella el amor está por encima de la lucha por la libertad. Por esta razón, acabará denunciando a los camaradas de Missirilli, los cuales, a su vez, acusan a éste de traición. (FILMAFFINITY)
