Summary

Hope burns bright during the darkest hours of the Second World War in a four-part drama based on Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, which has been adapted for the screen by Steven Knight and directed by Shawn Levy. Daniel LeBlanc (Mark Ruffalo) and his blind daughter Marie-Laure (Aria Mia Loberti) flee German-occupied Paris in possession of a priceless treasure, a legendary diamond known as the Sea of Flames. They seek refuge with Daniel's reclusive uncle Etienne (Hugh Laurie) in the coastal resort of Saint-Malo. Father and daughter are pursued by a Gestapo officer called Von Rumpel (Lars Eidinger), who covets the jewel. In Saint-Malo, Marie-Laure's fate collides with orphaned German teenager Werner Pfennig (Louis Hofmann), who should be reporting Etienne's clandestine radio broadcasts on behalf of the French resistance to Hitler's regime. However, Werner begins to question his role in the invasion of Europe and the innocent lives that hang in the balance based on his findings
