Synopsis
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.
