This is an unbelievable true-life story of a spontaneous truce on Christmas Eve during WWI. The Scottish, French and German troops in the trenches stop their fighting each other to celebrate Christmas together. This holiday cease-fire allows these warriors of war a few fleeting moments to redeem themselves and prove there is some humanity amid battle. The co-mingled troops celebrate the birth of Christ, as well as taking care to bury their dead comrades. Peace and goodwill abruptly fade behind the sounds of rifle fire and bombs.
