    • Synopsis
    • More than eighty years ago a girl was born into a poor farming family in Tuscany, and named Ultimina—“the last one”—though in fact she was followed by a younger sister. Now Ultimina lives alone on the old farm. In between visiting the cemetery, harvesting the garden, and working around the house, she takes time to talk to the filmmaker about her life. The decision to focus exclusively on Ultimina and not have anyone else in the film is highly effective: she gets all the attention she deserves.
