2005 film depicting the Real Life Christmas Truce of 1914, in the first year of World War 1. The film begins with French, English and German boys reciting xenophobic, jingoistic poems: Hearing such words from the mouths of children is of course horrible, explicitly showing us how the war developed on ethnic and national rivalries or hatred. The film proceeds, introducing us to its British, French and German characters who join up as the war breaks out. Two brothers from Scotland, along with their priest who joins as a chaplain, a Frenchman and a German actor who is engaged to a Dane, reluctant to see him go. The characters are sent to the Western Front and face each other in the trenches. Jonathan, the young Scot, loses his brother, which devastates him.
