Merry Christmas (Christian Carion)

Christmas Eve, 1914. On a World War I battlefield, a Momentous Event changed the lives of soldiers from France, Germany and England.

This movie is inspired by a true story, which happened during the World War I, for Christmas Eve 1914, in many different places of the battlefront.

When war breaks out in the quiet summer of 1914, it surprises millions of men and breaks them up with their families. The cruel war continues until Christmas arrives, their loneliness stirs up with the white snow and their family and army presents. But the surprise won't come from inside the generous parcels that 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 tenor and the one he loves, a wonderful soprano and singing partner. During this Christmas Eve, the unthinkable will happen: rifles will be left at the bottom of the trenches to go to see those opposite, shake their hands, exchange a cigarette and a piece of chocolate, wish them 'Merry Christmas!'...
