Synopsis

In 1818, when Joseph Mohr (Carsten Clemens) is assigned to be the new assistant
priest in Oberndorf, a small Austrian town near Salzburg, the young man is full of
ideas and ideals. His passion to bring the church closer to the common people sets
him on a collision course with his new superior, Father Nöstler (Clemens Aap
Lindenberg). When Mohr organizes a church choir that includes outcasts from the
local tavern and performs in German instead of Latin, Nöstler threatens him with
disciplinary action. Their relationship further deteriorates when Maria (Janina
Elkin), a regular tavern patron, surprisingly joins the performance of the all-male
church choir. As Mohr's initial successes start to crumble and his efforts backfire
on him, he loses all hope and faces a trial of faith. The night before Christmas,
Mohr has to decide if he will accept defeat and leave Oberndorf or embrace the true
significance of the Holy Night
