All the Light We Cannot See, an American drama limited series developed for Netflix, was released yesterday. The four part-series, based on Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize winning, best-seller novel that carries the same name, follows the stories of two teenagers—a blind French girl named Marie-Laure and a German soldier named Werner—whose paths cross in enemy-occupied France during World War II. 

The story behind All the Light We Cannot See has the blind Marie-Laure Leblanc (actress Aria Mia Loberti) taking refuge with her father and reclusive uncle in St. Malo, France, and Werner (actor Louis Hoffman), a brilliant teenager with an expertise in radio who is enlisted by Hitler’s regime. The two teens together share a secret connection that will become a beacon of light that leads them through the horrors of World War II.
