Desc: Pierwsza milosc Kosciuszki: Directed by Jerzy Orshon. With Sykstus Lewicki, Zbigniew Prawdzic, Maria Wronska, Kazimiera Rajska. In 1774, Tadeusz Kosciuszko returns to Poland, having been on a scholarship in Paris at the expense of the Commonwealth's treasury. He believes that the king will use his forces for the good of his country. But Stanislaw August, prompted by one of the friends of the then Russian ambassador, refuses. The embittered Kosciuszko goes to Sosnowica, where the voivode cordially receives the young officer. The voivode wants to marry Tadeusz with Kobolcia Zenowiczówna, but Tadeusz reciprocated the voivode's wife Ludwika, who, however, was chosen by her parents for the young prince Lubomirski, considering Kosciuszko unworthy of their daughter's hand. The young people decide to run away and get married secretly in Warsaw. Kosciuszko confides his plan to the king; this conversation is overheard by someone obliging and notifies the voivode of everything. Ludwika has to return to her parental home... A few months later Kosciuszko leaves for America and only after seven years will he return to his homeland as a hero and Head of the Nation.
