- "All the Light We Cannot See" is a World War II drama directed by Shawn Levy.
- It stars newcomer Aria Mia Loberti and German actor Louis Hofmann.
Netflix's "All the Light We Cannot See" is a drama about two young people who cross paths in a besieged French coastal town during World War II.
Based on Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, the series follows Marie-Laure, a French girl running a radio broadcast from her uncle's home in Saint-Malo during the German occupation, and Werner, a German soldier with a penchant for radio technology.
While "All the Light We Cannot See" isn't based on a true story, Doerr's novel is historical fiction rooted in actual events that happened during the war in Saint-Malo.
