Ganz tells the incredible true story of Josef Ganz, an automotive inventor and visionary who was one of the first people to recognize the car's potential to improve the average individual's life. However, in Hitler's ambitious Volkswagen plan, there was no place for a Jewish designer: Ganz had to run for his life, leaving everything behind. From his exile, he saw his design be developed and refined into the Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most popular and successful cars in history. When he died years later, he was a forgotten man. In the film, present-day stories told by Ganz' ancestors and fans intertwine with the story of Ganz's life itself, restoring Ganz's lost legacy and bringing it into today's world.
