Storyline
Plot Summary |
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, Scottish and German sides partake in the unique event, even though they are aware that their superiors will not tolerate its occurrence.

Trivia | The character of the Male opera singer is based on that of German tenor Walter Kirchhoff (1879-1951), who traveled to the front in order to perform for the troops. His performance was met by cheers from the French lines, where upon he decided to climb onto no-mans-land to see who was cheering. See more » |
Goofs | When Anna and Nikolaus talks about the time they met for the first time, they say "Oslo". Oslo, capitol of Norway, was called Kristiania until 1924. See more » |

Quotes |
Horstmayer:
I heard last night about your wife. If you like, I can get a letter through to her. Lieutenant Audebert: Why would you do that? If you got caught... Horstmayer: [scoffs] One letter won't stop us winning the war. And anyhow, when we'll have taken Paris and it's over, you can invite us for a drink in Rue Vavin. Lieutenant Audebert: You don't have to invade Paris to drop round for a drink. See more » |
