Description
A small Georgia town struggles with the rationing and sacrifices of
America at war. Christmas is no exception as 11 year-old Gordy (Aidan
Rogers) and his sister Priscilla (Emily Jordan) sense a fear in the
train station where they await their father's homecoming. Propaganda
posters and tense adult talk drive home the evil of the enemy.
When
a train loaded with German prisoners arrives at the station, Gordy's
curiosity is stronger than his fear. He dares to approach the prison
train and makes contact with a young German soldier named Hans (Silvio
Wolf Busch). Through the courage to trust and the song Silent Night, friends and foes learn the true meaning of Peace on Earth and Good Will Towards Men, and hearts are forever changed.
