Description: When English soldier Hal strikes up a conversation with German Lieutenant Wilhelm during the ceasefire in no-man's-land on Christmas Day 1914, he has no idea the impact this chance meeting will have. Wilhelm is in love with an English woman, Sam, and presses a photograph into Hal's hand - if he survives the war Hal must promise to find Sam and give her this token of affection. Invalided home while the battle goes on, Hal goes in search of Sam - but the moment he sees her he is in trouble. With WIlhelm's photograph hidden in his pocket, Hal begins a life - and a love affair - meant for someone else.
