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 won't 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
Anglican priest, a French lieutenant, an exceptional German tenor and
the one he loves, a soprano and singing partner. During this Christmas
Eve, the unthinkable happens: soldiers come out of their trenches,
leaving their rifles behind
to shake hands with the enemy.
