The endearing story of a revered concierge at a mountaintop hotel and his growing friendship with
devoted lobby boy, Zero, is told through Anderson's unique and fantastical lens.
Once we are two, three layers and two aspect ratios removed from contemporary reality (or Anderson's slightly less geometrically precise vision of contemporary reality), we are introduced to the world of this baroque mountaintop spa hotel, lorded over by the obscenely
devoted and motor - mouthed concierge M Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) and his pencil - mostachio'd
lobby boy - cum - protege, Zero (Tony Revolori).
