Discover the heartwarming true story behind the world's most beloved Christmas carol. Set in 1818 in the small Austrian village of Oberndorf, this touching film chronicles how a young priest and a gifted musician created 'Silent Night' on Christmas Eve. When the church organ breaks down just hours before midnight mass, Father Joseph Mohr writes new lyrics and asks his friend Franz Xaver Gruber to compose a simple melody for guitar.
