| Summary, etc. | The film, which received a 20-minute ovation when it was screened at Cannes this year, tells the true story of a Christmas 1914 truce between front-line German, French and Scottish soldiers. It has been selected to represent France at the OscarsTM. Lauded by critics in France, Merry Christmas quickly climbed to the top of the French box office after its November 9 release, with 600,000 tickets sold in the first week. It has now been seen by more than 1.5 million people, a French record for a subtitled film. In Quebec, the film won the Grand Prix Hydro-Québec (Audience Award) and the Communication et société Award at the Festival du cinéma international en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. This movie is inspired by a true story, wich happened on Christmas Eve 1914 during the World War I, in many different places along the frontline. When war breaks out in the lull of summer 1914, it suprises and pulls millions of men in it wake. And Chrismas arrives, with it's snow and multitude of family and army bundles. But the surprise won't come from inside the generous parcels which lie in the french, scottish and german trenches.That night, a momentous event will turn the destinies of four characters: A scottish priest, a french lieutenant, an exceptional German tenor and the one he loves and sings with, a wonderful Danish soprano. They will find themselves at the heart of unprecedented fraternisations between German, British and French Troops. During that Christmas Eve, the unthinkable will happen: rifles will be left at the bottom of the trenches and steps will be taken towards those opposite, to shake their hands, exchange a cigarette or a piece of chocolate, to wish them "Merry Christmas!"... |
