The organizers invite you to the film “KOS” and a meeting with the film’s director, Paweł Maślona.
The spring of 1794 was boiling in Poland. General Tadeusz “Kos” Kościuszko returns to the country and plans to start an uprising against the Russians, mobilizing the Polish nobility and peasants.
He is accompanied by his faithful friend and former slave, Domingo). Following Kościuszko’s trail along with the wanted poster is a ruthless Russian cavalry 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 must flee from his half-brother, Stanisław, 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, and a strong bond of understanding is created between the men, even though they both do not know each other’s language.
Together they go to the colonel’s manor, where Kościuszko 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 this 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 Kościuszko’s “Kos” and fight with him for the highest stakes.
