The year is 1901. Józef Piłsudski "Ziuk", after a courageous escape from a psychiatric hospital, becomes again the leader of the underground in the struggle for Polish independence. He remains fearless on the battlefield – in his private life he is subject to feelings, torn between his wife and mistress. Piłsudski and his closest collaborators do not back away from anything. An attack on tsarist officials, smuggling bombs, a brave robbery on a train – all to achieve their goal: independent Poland. The year 1914 is approaching and "Ziuk" sees new chances to achieve the impossible. The film was awarded for Best Actress (Magdalena Boczarska) on Polish Film Festival in Gdynia (2019).
