Mr Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) is a legend among the hotel staff. In the timelessness between the two world wars, in a godforsaken country where not much works, the luxurious Grandhotel Budapest is an oasis of reliability personified by this head of the hotel staff. Mr. Gustave fulfils his guests' wishes before they are made, and he loves most of them selflessly, even in a physical sense. When one such grateful customer bequeaths him an extremely rare painting and then closes her eyes forever (not willingly), he not only becomes suddenly rich, but also a thorn in the side of angry survivors, the target of a hit man and a toy in the hands of the local police. In all these thankless roles, he is helped by his personal charm and a young busboy, Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori), whom he wants to groom as his successor.
