Ampersand

Synopsis:
Things aren't working out for Kate and Marlowe. He's an unemployed whiner, and despite her best efforts to stick with him, Kate just couldn't help cloning him. Twice. Now she's got a guilty conscience, plus three very different versions of her husband running around a Zurich hotel. When Kate discovers that she might not actually be the original Kate, things get scarier and funnier at the same time. Just what is marriage? and how far will we go to change each other-and ourselves-to stay together?

It's 1945. Thousands of German prisoners of war live in camps scattered throughout the U.S. Some are dedicated Nazis, some are barely old enough to hold a rifle. What they all share is the fear of an uncertain future and the determination to reclaim their humanity. at one camp in Minnesota, an inmate production of a Moliere play may give them a chance-either to escape or to transcend.
