All the Light We Cannot See: Plot

The story of the series based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, All The Light We Cannot See is a groundbreaking limited series that follows the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl, and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to keep it from falling into the hands of the Nazis. Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel soon find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance.

Yet here in this once-idyllic seaside city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts, who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and the possibility of hope.”

“I shot all the episodes because I wanted to make this a four-hour film. And if you look at the people who were my creative team: James Newton Howard, Tobias Schliessler, Dean Zimmerman as editor, the same assistant director and line producer who have done my last 10 movies, this is a feature film approach to a limited series and the visuals and emotional scale feel very much more cinematic than television series.” 

All the Light We Cannot See: Cast 

The brand new limited series stars Aria Mia Loberti, a Penn State Ph.D. student who will be acting for the first time as Marie-Laure in the adaptation. Loberti was selected for the role after Levy opened a worldwide casting call for low-vision actresses. Since the character in the series loses her eyesight at the age of 6, the director wanted to authentically cast a blind actor for the part. Many self-tapes later, Levy found the right fit for the lead role, and here is what he said about Loberti in an interview with Vanity Fair: 

“It just became clear to me that even though she was literally figuring out how to do it while she did it, there was something luminous about Aria, and unsurprisingly, fiercely intelligent.” 

Dark alum Louis Hoffman plays Werner, a brilliant teenager recruited by the German army to use radio technology in order to track down any illegal broadcasts. Mark Ruffalo is set to portray Marie-Laure’s father, Daniel LeBlanc, who is a locksmith at the Museum of Natural History in Paris. Hugh Laurie is Etienne LeBlanc, Marie-Laurie’s uncle and WWI hero suffering from PTSD. Another cast member with a pivotal role in this adaptation is Lars Eidinger, who plays Sergeant Major Reinhold von Rumpel, a ruthless and terminally-ill Nazi officer in search of a diamond that is known to give eternal life. 

Dan Levine is the executive producer of the series, and he will be reuniting with Levy after working on Free Guy together. Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is responsible for the script. He is also credited for creating and writing other series such as Apple TV + original See, Hulu’s version of Great Expectations, and BBC’s Rogue Heroes. 

Nine-Time Academy Award-nominated composer James Newton Howard is behind the musical score for the series. 

Tobias A. Schliesser who worked with Levy on The Adam Project is serving as the cinematographer on the series. Dean Zimmerman, who has worked with Levy on all of his films since Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, will be the editor.
