“Piłsudski” and Q&A with director Michał Rosa

It had no right to happen! It is 1901. Józef Piłsudski “Ziuk” (Borys Szyc) after a reckless escape from a psychiatric hospital again becomes the head of the Polish independence underground. Adamant on the battlefield, in private life he surrenders passion, torn between two women of his life – his wife (Magdalena Boczarska) and lover (Maria Dębska). Considered by the conservative members of the Polish Socialist Party as a terrorist, Piłsudski and his closest associates will not stop at nothing – the attacks on tsarist officials and the highest officers, smuggling bombs, the bold attack on the train to achieve its goal: independent Poland. The year 1914 is approaching and “Ziuk” sees new opportunities to achieve the impossible. “Piłsudski” is an adventurous cinema, a passionate romance, the true story of the Marshal, which has never been known before.
