Nominated for an Oscar, and worthy winner of other top international awards: this is the true story of Christmas in the World War One trenches of 1914 – when front-line Scottish, French, and German soldiers showed the world that Christmas can be a time of peace and goodwill to all men! After the miraculous event, of course, there were all kinds of repercussions when the top military officials got to hear of what had happened...and ironically enough, it was certain ministers of religion who seemed to be the most opposed to the incident; putting patriotism ahead of the faith they preached!

The acting is so good that you don’t notice it – and that’s high praise indeed – while the camerawork gets on with the telling of the story, rather than try to score brownie points by showing graphically how terrible war is.
A great film; and one that can be enjoyed even by those who usually steer clear of war movies.
Drama set during World War I. When the war machines began rolling in the summer of 1914, the devastation that it waged upon German, British, and French troops was palpable. But as the winter winds began to blow and the soldiers sat huddled in their trenches awaiting the generous Christmas care packages sent by the families, the sounds of warfare took a momentary backseat to the yearning for brotherhood among all of mankind. It is here that the fate of a French lieutenant, a Scottish priest, a German tenor, and a Danish soprano's lives were about to be changed forever.
