Plot.

The movie is about a student in Turin during the 1920s (moved up from the earlier versions) and his love for a a seamstress. The student, Mario, is played by Walter Slezak; the girl Dorina by Carmen Boni. The femme fatale Elena (Elena Sangro) threatens the relationship. When school days end, seen here as a kind of transitory idyll, it is "farewell to youth" as the title states, and a melancholy goodbye to youthful romances as well to allow new lives to take form.

Wiki.

Goodbye Youth (Italian: Addio giovinezza!) is a 1927 Italian silent drama film directed by Augusto Genina and starring Walter Slezak, Elena Sangro and Carmen Boni. The film was adapted from the 1911 play of the same name by Nino Oxilia and Sandro Camasio.

The film is set in Turin at the beginning of the twentieth century, where a student begins a romance with a seamstress Dorina. However, he is lured away by a sophisticated older woman leaving Dorina distressed. Genina had previously directed an earlier version of the play in 1918. It was remade by Ferdinando Maria Poggioli as a sound film of the same title in 1940.
