Arden

In wartime Marsovia, an invented Central European principality, the jovial hotelier and ladies' man Alexandre de Rocoule and the lonely Jewish widower Salomon Lengyel have co-written operettas since 1917 and never finished one, forever disagreeing on the last scene. As the Nazis close in, Salomon and his daughter Esther, with whom Alex falls in love, are threatened. Might a final operetta rescue them?
