The main part of the film is told in a flashback by a monk to two visiting noblemen on their way to Warsaw in the 17th century. He tells them how a mighty count named Starschensky once ruled Sendomir (Sandomierz), but after an intrigue in which his wife was unfaithful with her own cousin he had to use all his resources to build the monastery where they are now staying. At the end it is revealed that the monk is in fact Starschensky himself.

gollark: Through layer upon layer of horrible, horrible hacks, yes, it kind of works.
gollark: They're both OFDMA-based, admittedly use somewhat different frequency ranges, just carry IP packets nowadays, are increasingly going for ridiculous data rates, are often implemented in the same devices, that sort of thing.
gollark: Anyway, as far as I know, modern WiFi and 4G/5G aren't actually that different, so them somehow being munged together is inevitable and inescapable.
