Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The light you can’t see is a groundbreaking miniseries that follows the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French teenager, and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who escape German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond that they must hide from the Nazis. Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who wants the diamond for his own gain, Marie-Laure and Daniel take refuge in St. Malo with a hermit uncle who helps the resistance with clandestine radio transmissions. But in this once idyllic city by the sea, Marie-Laure’s path collides inexorably with her most unlikely soul mate: Werner, a brilliant teenager recruited by the Hitlerite regime to track illegal broadcasts, but who instead shares a secret connection with Marie-Laure, her faith in humanity and hope.
