In 1914, World War I, the bloodiest war ever at that time in human history,
was well under way. However on Christmas Eve, numerous sections of the
Western Front called an informal, and unauthorized, truce where the various
front-line soldiers of the conflict peacefully met each other in No Man`s Land
to share a precious pause in the carnage with a fleeting brotherhood. This
film dramatizes one such section as the French, British and German sides
partake in the unique event, even though they are aware that their superiors
will not tolerate its occurrence.
