In 1773, clutching at assorted pretexts, Russia, Austria, and Prussia annexed a third of the territory of the commonwealth of Poland–Lithuania. The deed marked the beginning of the process that bereft Poland of independence. Bribed by Russia, members of the polish parliament of 1773 were ready to ratify an act sanctioning the first partition of Poland. The film shows the dramatic moment when deputy Radeusz Rejtan tries to forestall that act of treason.

The painting is part of the collection of the Royal Castle in Warsaw.
