Synopsis : This movie is inspired by a true story, which happened on Christmas Eve 1914 during World War I, in many different places along the front line.
When war breaks out in the lull of summer 1914, it surprises and pulls millions of men in its wake. Christmas arrives, with its snow and multitude of family and army presents. But the surprise wont come from inside the generous parcels, which lie in the French, Scottish, and German trenches.
That night, a momentous event will turn the destinies of four characters: an Scottish priest, a French lieutenant, an exceptional German tenor and the one he loves and sing with, a wonderful Danish soprano.
During this Christmas eve, the unthinkable will happen: rifles will be left at the bottom of the trenches to go, candle in hand, to see those opposite, shake their hands, exchange a cigarette and a piece of chocolate, wish them “Merry Christmas”…
