Moment From The Grand Budapest Hotel
Gustave’s Failed Escape
Gustave calmly approaches the police regarding the murder of the dowager and knows he’s a suspect. His solution? Run.
The Grand Budapest Hotel tells of a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars and his friendship with a young employee who becomes his trusted protégé. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, the battle for an enormous family fortune and the slow and then sudden upheavals that transformed Europe during the first half of the 20th century.
