This is a remarkable true story, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it. The location is the Western Front of World War I, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence comes a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man's Land singing “Stille Nacht.” No Man’s Land was a narrow, muddy, treeless stretch of land, characterized by numerous shell holes, that separated German and Allied trenches. Being in No Man's Land was considered very dangerous since it offered little or no protection for soldiers. Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, peace.
