Accused of Murder, Can Gustave Prove His Innocence?
In 1932, nestled against a backdrop of beautiful mountains, stands the elegant "Grand Budapest Hotel," Europe's finest. Its sophisticated guests are drawn to the "legendary concierge," Gustave H.
The secret to his "hospitality" lay in his unwavering professionalism, even extending to being the nighttime companion of the madames. However, when Madame D., a long-time patron of Gustave's, is murdered, Gustave is implicated as the heir to a valuable painting! While on the run across the European continent, Gustave, with his loyal protégé, the lobby boy Zero, confronts the mystery. Can he prove his innocence and protect the hotel's prestige, which is more important than his own life?
Set across three eras—the present, the 1960s, and the eve of World War II—this is a mystery that unfolds within a luxurious hotel. It is the birth of a supreme entertainment masterpiece, blending the pride and bonds of ultimate professionals with a trust that transcends mentorship and a unique sense of humor.
