The plot revolves around Marie-Laure’s father, a locksmith at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, who is tasked with safeguarding the museum’s prized and perilous artifact, the Sea of Flames diamond, while Werner is conscripted by the Nazis to use his engineering skills to hunt down and eliminate resistance fighters. As the war intensifies, the two characters’ paths cross in the town of Saint-Malo, where they must navigate the destruction and chaos of war while trying to maintain their sense of morality and humanity.
The series features a star-studded cast, including Louis Hofmann, Lars Eidinger, Marion Bailey, Hugh Laurie, and Mark Ruffalo. It also marks the introduction of Aria Mia Loberti as Marie-Laure. Steven Knight, the writer behind films such as Allied and Burnt, has created and written the series.
The official synopsis for the series reveals that it will be a groundbreaking limited series that follows the story of Marie-Laure and her father, who flee German-occupied Paris with the Sea of Flames diamond to prevent it from falling into Nazi hands. They are relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his selfish motives. As they find refuge in St. Malo with Marie-Laure’s reclusive uncle, who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance, her path intersects with Werner, who shares a secret connection to her and her faith in humanity and hope.
All the Light We Cannot See will be released on Netflix on November 2nd, 2023. The teaser trailer promises an epic and visually stunning series that explores the themes of war, morality, and human connection.
