Synopsis

In the twilight of the 1920s, Gustav Hartmann, proudly known as "Iron Gustav," stands as the last bastion of Berlin's horse-drawn cab tradition. As the city races toward modernity with the advent of automobile cabs, Gustav faces the looming shadow of poverty. His own family, convinced of his obsolescence, threatens to have him declared incompetent. In a defiant act of resilience, Gustav embarks on a daring odyssey from Berlin to Paris and back, a journey that promises redemption. With a savvy reporter sensing the pulse of a sensational story by his side, Gustav captures the hearts of many, transforming into a celebrated hero. Upon his triumphant return to Berlin, he discovers a newfound tenderness, mending the fractures within his family and embracing a future once thought lost.
