Synopsis: | A timely parable of war and peace, "SOLDIERS' CHRISTMAS" is a drama/comedy inspired by the 1914 Christmas Truce in Belgium where British troops were dug in across the no man's land from where German troops were entrenched. Living in the muck and vermin-infested trenches, front-line soldiers of both sides, through encounters in no man's land, discover their common humanity and (much to their officers' chagrin) fraternize with the enemy, play soccer and sing as they celebrate Christmas during a temporary cease-fire. | |||||
