The British, German and French armies agreed to an armistice on Christmas Eve. The priest plays the bagpipe, the artist couple sings the champagne, the coffee, the cat and the fireworks. The priest gave the most special mass, and on this battlefield, everyone took off their national hats. Pray, chant. They buried their bodies, sad and peaceful. Cross, play football, play cards, chat. War makes people cherish peace and life more. "Let's fire the cannons in ten minutes and take shelter in our trenches." This is the friendship of human nature, regardless of war, country, or race.
These teams were finally punished to go to dangerous battlefields, the senior generals are really bastards! But they have no regrets about that merry Christmas. The harmonica is smashed, they still have throats, and they can hum those peaceful and free melodies...a movie that goes deep into the soul.
It's not the war that's cruel, it's the bastard careerists.
