Step back into the spring of 1794 with Scarborn, a powerful historical drama that follows the journey of General Tadeusz "Kos" Kościuszko (Jacek Braciak) as he returns to his homeland to ignite a rebellion against Russian oppression. With his loyal companion Domingo (Jason Mitchell) by his side, Kościuszko faces a ruthless Russian captain Dunin (Robert Wieckiewicz) and encounters Ignac (Bartosz Bielenia), a young peasant driven by dreams of claiming his noble birthright. This gripping tale of courage, friendship, and sacrifice asks Ignac to choose between his personal ambitions and the greater cause of freedom.

Spring 1794: General Tadeusz ‘Kos’ Kościuszko returns to Poland, planning an uprising against the occupying Russians. Kościuszko is being tracked by a merciless Russian cavalry captain, Dunin, who wants to capture him before he sparks a national revolt. Meanwhile, the peasant Ignac, the illegitimate son of a nobleman, dreams of inheriting his father's estate after being included in the will. When his father dies, Ignac’s half-brother Stanisław refuses to fulfill their father's wishes; Ignac steals the will and has two days to present it to the court to prove his noble title. During his escape, however, he encounters Kościuszko and soon must choose between his dreams of nobility and joining in the fight for a greater cause. A captivating historical drama, Scarborn triumphed at the 2024 Polish Film Awards, winning six awards, including Best Director.
