Join us for this 20th anniversary screening.
With the advent of World War I, Europe is thrown into a brutal and vicious chaos as men are forced to kill or be killed. While blood soaks the battlefield as Christmas approaches, the men in the trenches of the Western Front face a transformation, however fleeting, toward peace and goodwill. Against all odds, four unlikely individuals from opposing sides (Diane Kruger, Benno Fürmann, Guillaume Canet, Gary Lewis) bond during this bloodless respite to experience the hope and goodness in humanity. (Rotten Tomatoes)
Le lieutenant Audebert a dû laisser sa femme enceinte et alitée pour aller combattre l'ennemi. Mais depuis, les Allemands occupent la petite ville du Nord où la jeune épouse a probablement accouché à présent.
Et puis arrive Noël, avec sa neige et son cortège de cadeaux des familles et des Etats majors. Mais la surprise ne viendra pas des colis généreux qui jonchent les tranchées françaises, écossaises et allemandes... AlloCine)
