What is 'All the Light We Cannot See' about?

Set during World War II, the series follows the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl, and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond believed to give its owner eternal life. The duo works to keep it out of Nazi hands.

Marie-Laure and Daniel find refuge in Saint-Malo, France with Daniel's reclusive Uncle Etienne, who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the French Resistance. They are relentlessly pursued by Reinhold von Rumpel, a terminally ill Nazi officer, who wants the diamond for himself.

At the seaside city, Marie-Laure crosses paths with Werner Pfennig, a German teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts. Werner and Marie-Laure share a secret connection as well as a faith in humanity.

"Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner over the course of a decade, 'All The Light We Cannot See' tells a story of the extraordinary power of human connection − a beacon of light that can lead us through even the darkest of times," says Netflix.
