del re di Bretagna, il giovane Tristano rende un prezioso servigio allo zio, il
re Marco di Cornovaglia, uccidendo l'ostile gigante Morholt, figlio del sovrano

Isotta, sorella di Morholt».
Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review:
IMDb:
«After the death of his father, prince Tristan is living in Cornwall at the
court of his uncle, King Marke, who treats him like a son. When the Irish king
sends his son Morold over to demand high tax payments, Tristan challenges him to
combat. He manages to kill Morold but is very badly injured, and is placed in a
boat to be healed by the magic powers of the sea, which takes him across to
Ireland. There he is discovered by Isolde, Morold's sister, who nurses him back
to health together with her mother. Before his identity becomes known, Tristan
travels back to Cornwall where the barons are urging King Marke to finally
choose a wife for himself. When the king hears of Isolde's beauty he sends
Tristan across to bring her back to him as a bride. Isolde is appalled at the
way her father welcomes Morold's murderer, and at his desire to marry her off to
a strange king. On the voyage back, she wants to poison both Tristan and herself,
but the bottle contains a love potion: the two of them fall in love with each
other and cannot leave each other, even after Isolde's marriage to Marke. When
their relationship is discovered, Tristan is forced into exile in Brittany,
where he is given a warm reception by Duke Hoel. The duke's daughter, Isolde
Weisshand, tries in vain to win Tristan over. When Tristan hears that the barons
have risen up against King Marke he travels back to Cornwall and saves the
king's life and crown, but is then forced to go back into exile, seriously
injured. Close to death, he sends for Isolde: she is the only person who can
save him. However, the spurned, jealous and disappointed Isolde Weisshand foils
the two lovers' reunion by telling a lie. Bereft of all hope, Tristan falls on
his sword just before his Isolde arrives. She follows him into death, in order
to be reunited with him for ever more».
