Joyeux Noël
During the First World War, an unofficial Christmas truce brought together soldiers from France, Germany, and Scotland. Even though the agreement to cease fire and celebrate the holidays was short-lived, this movie turns into a heartwarming story of a temporary respite from battle.
As the soldiers take a break to enjoy an evening in No Man’s Land, they share stories of Christmas back home and get to know each other as what they ultimately are: human beings. Joyeux Nöel’s events were based on a true story but here’s a little warning: it might get you shedding a few tears.
