Spring 1794, Poland is in turmoil. “Kos” returns to Poland and plans to start an uprising against the Russians by mobilising the Polish nobility and peasants. He is accompanied by his faithful friend and former slave, Domingo (award-winning American actor Jason Mitchell – Straight Outta Compton, Mudbound). Kościuszko is followed by a ruthless Russian captain, Dunin (Robert Więckiewicz), who wants to capture the general at any cost before he triggers a national rebellion.
Meanwhile, a young peasant, Ignac (Bartosz Bielenia), a noble bastard, dreams of receiving his coat of arms and property from his illegitimate parent, Duchnowski (Andrzej Seweryn), who includes him in his will just before his death. When his father dies, the boy must flee from his half-brother Stanisław (Piotr Pacek), who wants to prevent the execution of his father’s will. Ignac steals the will and has just two days to appear in court to prove his title of nobility. In his escape, Ignac meets Domingo. A strong bond of understanding forms between the men, even though they do not speak the same language. They end up at the manor house of the Colonel’s Wife (Agnieszka Grochowska), where Kościuszko hides while waiting for negotiations with the magnates.
Distrustful of Ignac, Kos keeps him under arrest, but, at the decisive moment, the fate of the uprising will lie in the hands of the inconspicuous Ignac, who will have to choose whether to follow his dream of nobility or join “Kos” and fight for the highest stakes with him.
Scarborn (Kos) is set for release on April 27th.
