The spring of 1794 was boiling in Poland. General Tadeusz "Kos" Koÿciuszko returns to the country and plans to start an uprising against the Russians, mobilizing the Polish nobility and peasants to do so. He is accompanied by his faithful friend and former slave, Domingo. Following Koÿciuszko's trail, along with an arrest warrant, is the ruthless Russian captain Dunin, who wants to capture the general at all costs before he starts a national rebellion. At the same time, a young peasant, Ignac, a noble bastard, dreams of being granted a coat of arms and property by his illegitimate parent, Duchnowski, who includes him in his will just before his death. When his father dies, the boy has to run away from his half-brother Stanisÿaw, who does not want to allow his father's will to be fulfilled. Ignac steals the will and has only two days to appear in court with it and prove his nobility. While escaping, he meets Domingo. A strong bond of understanding is created between the men, even though both of them do not know each other's language. Together they go to Puÿkownikowa's manor, where Koÿciuszko is hiding, waiting for negotiations with the magnates. Kos is distrustful of Ignac and keeps him in custody, but at the decisive moment the fate of the uprising will lie in the hands of an inconspicuous noble bastard. When the moment of test comes, Ignac will have to choose - whether to continue following his dream of the coat of arms and his father's legacy, or to join Koÿciuszko and fight with him for the highest stakes.

Reseñas (1)
Al principio parece dirigirse hacia alguna épica batalla histórica, pero sorprendentemente se desplaza hacia otros rumbos: la película, luego de situar las piezas en el tablero, se convierte literalmente en un asunto íntimo, donde la parte más crucial de la trama se desarrolla durante una noche en una cabaña y sus alrededores. Con su dinámica conversacional, recuerda a la escena culminante de un pub en Malditos bastardos, que se desarrolla de manera excelente, sorprende gratamente en varias ocasiones y termina de manera contundente. Como un gran ignorante de la historia polaca de esa época, obviamente no conocía a esos personajes históricos específicos, por lo que el desenlace me sorprendió bastante, pero definitivamente merece un pulgar hacia arriba. La cinematografía polaca contemporánea está al tanto de los tiempos y ahora ha demostrado que puede generar una excursión moderna sobre su historia y convertirla en una película fascinante, que quizás no sea históricamente precisa, pero sin duda llamará la atención y quizás incluso fomente el deseo de estudiar más sobre ese período específico.
