Overview
"Fegyverszünet Karácsonyra" (Merry Christmas), directed by Christian Carion, is a gripping drama based on true events that occurred during World War I on Christmas Eve in 1914. The film tells the moving story of soldiers from France, Scotland, and Germany who, despite being enemies on the frontlines, laid down their arms and shared a moment of peace during the Christmas truce. The narrative follows four central characters—a French officer, a German tenor and his soprano love interest, and an Anglican priest—whose lives are forever changed by this extraordinary act of humanity.
This powerful film explores themes of unity, compassion, and the futility of war, offering a heartwarming reflection on the Christmas spirit amid the horrors of the battlefield. Featuring a stellar cast, including Diane Krüger, Benno Fürmann, Guillaume Canet, and Daniel Brühl, "Fegyverszünet Karácsonyra" provides a deeply emotional and historically significant portrayal of one of the most touching moments in the history of warfare.
