The story is set on December 24, 2024, in the conflict-ridden areas of the Israeli-Palestinian border. The two areas are divided by a massive wall, but the two peoples do not stop fighting each other. All this is watched by a grieving God who asks his son for a moment and shows him the situation. In doing so, he reminds him of December 24, 1914, an event that took place 110 years ago. At that time, God, watching an equally cruel conflict asked his son Jesus to come down to Earth and spread love, friendship and understanding among the warring parties at least for a moment. Then German and English soldiers spent Christmas Eve together in friendship and kindness, reminding each other what love for one's neighbor is. That is why he is now asking them to do it again. “I don't care that they are not Christians, I just want them to remember what love for their neighbor is”- God the Father said. So Jesus descends to Earth and walks by the border wall. Although both Palestinians and Israelis do not see him, they feel something unusual in their hearts-love and forgiveness. Although they don't celebrate Christmas Eve every year, this day is an exception-they spend it together. Jesus and his Father watch everything with joy and tears of emotion.
