Der eiserne Gustav

With the carriage to Paris Berlin, between 1914 and 1924: Gustav Hackendahl, known as the Iron Gustav, is a cab driver, strict with himself and others. In the tumultuous years of war and post-war, his family falls apart, and his business can no longer compete with the automobile competition. Defiantly, he turns a dream into reality: he embarks on one last journey - with the cab from Berlin to Paris. "Hardly anyone has written as timely, critically, and accurately about the milieu as Hans Fallada." Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
