Prime Video’s New Romance The Last Sunrise Promises Love, Family Secrets, and a Heartbreaking Summer You’ll Never Forget

If you’re searching for an emotional romance to close out the summer, Prime Video may have exactly what you’re looking for.

The streaming service has unveiled the first trailer for The Last Sunrise, a heartfelt romantic drama based on Anna Todd’s bestselling novel. Featuring breathtaking Mediterranean scenery, an unforgettable summer romance, and a deeply emotional family story, the film is already generating excitement ahead of its August debut.

Starring Maia Reficco, Fernando Lindez, and Eva Longoria, The Last Sunrise explores how one life-changing summer can transform everything—even when time is running out.

A Summer That Changes Everything

At the center of the story is Ry, a college student living with a chronic illness who travels to the beautiful Spanish island of Mallorca with her mother.

What begins as a family trip soon becomes far more meaningful when Ry meets Julián, a charming local who helps her discover a new way of embracing life.

As their relationship blossoms beneath the Mediterranean sun, Ry begins to let go of her fears and live fully in the present.

But the perfect summer doesn’t stay perfect for long.

According to the official synopsis, Ry’s worsening health and long-hidden family secrets threaten to destroy everything she has found before the season comes to an end.

Romance Meets Family Conflict

The trailer quickly reveals that Ry and Julián’s relationship faces obstacles beyond her medical condition.

Ry’s mother, played by Eva Longoria, has ambitious plans to build a luxury hotel in Mallorca.

Those plans collide directly with Julián’s family, who own valuable land and historic properties essential to the proposed development.

At one point in the trailer, Longoria’s character asks:

“That’s the boy you’re seeing? A Garcia?”

The question hints at a conflict that extends well beyond a simple summer romance.

As business interests, family loyalties, and personal relationships become increasingly intertwined, Ry finds herself caught between the people she loves and the future they each envision.

Based on Another Anna Todd Bestseller

The film marks the latest screen adaptation from bestselling author Anna Todd, whose novels have become worldwide publishing sensations.

Todd is best known for creating the hugely successful After series, which has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide and inspired multiple feature films.

She also continues expanding her work through her production company, Frayed Pages Media, which she founded in 2017 to develop film, television, and publishing projects.

In addition to producing The Last Sunrise, Todd previously served as both producer and screenwriter on the After films and also produced the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You.

A Talented Creative Team

The film is directed by Carlson Young from a screenplay written by Anna Klassen.

Producing alongside Anna Todd are Jennifer Gibgot, Lena Roklin, Andrew Panay, and Brian Pitt, with the project arriving through Amazon MGM Studios in collaboration with Ethea Entertainment, Pitt Street Productions, and Luber Roklin Entertainment.

Together, the filmmakers aim to deliver a romance that blends breathtaking scenery with emotional storytelling and meaningful character relationships.

Beautiful Scenery, Emotional Stakes

While the stunning beaches and landscapes of Mallorca provide a spectacular backdrop, The Last Sunrise appears to focus equally on the emotional journey of its characters.

Ry isn’t simply falling in love.

She’s learning to embrace every moment despite the uncertainty surrounding her health.

Meanwhile, Julián must balance his growing relationship with Ry against his family’s responsibilities and the escalating conflict surrounding their land.

The combination of romance, illness, family tension, and difficult choices suggests the film will offer much more than a traditional summer love story.
