About the show

Zuzia and Michal have been promised to one another by their parents, though they have never met. They meet by chance and fall in love. Michal gives his name as Stanisław, so Zuzia’s father refuses to let her marry him: he has given his word to Serwacy, Michal’s father, that she would marry his son. The identities and betrothal are explained before a duel between the fathers, and Zuzia and Michal can marry.
