Eternal peace. An outcast, part 2 is a German silent film melodrama from 1915 by Konrad Wieder .
action
The film follows on from the drama An Outcast, Part 1, shot two years earlier . Guy Walser killed the unscrupulous seducer of his sister Marguerite and had to spend several years as a convict for this bloody act . His past is like a brand on his social existence that he can never put aside. He married Lucienne and they both had a lovely daughter, Lilly. Despite all the wealth that Guy has earned, he remains an outcast who, as the title implies, seeks nothing other than eternal peace for himself.
Again and again things happen that remind him of his past and that place heavy burdens on him. Even his daughter has to pay bitterly for her father's original sin when her prospective husband, a handsome officer, learns that Lilly's father was once a prisoner and then turns away from her. Tormented by deep pain, the girl then seeks redemption in the water of a park pond. When the body of his beloved daughter is brought to her father, Guy Walser is also looking for eternal peace and shoots himself.
