Joyeux Noel is a harrowing and ultimately uplifting historical drama. With the advent of World War I, Europe is thrown into brutal and vicious chaos as men are forced to war.

Against all odds, four unlikely individuals from opposing sides bond during this bloodless respite to experience the hope and goodness in humanity.
