All the Light We Cannot See: Trailer and plot overview
The trailer for the Netflix limited series All the Light We Cannot See is a visually stunning and emotional glimpse into the heart-wrenching yet captivating story that awaits viewers. The visuals in the trailer of All the Light We Cannot See are striking and poignant.
The absence of dialogue and the haunting music of Debussy brilliantly sets the tone for the challenges faced by two of the pivotal characters in the story, Marie-Laure and Werner Pfennig, a German teenager recruited by the Nazi regime to track her down. The trailer hints at the unlikely friendship that forms between them, transcending the boundaries of war and ideology.
Additionally, All the Light We Cannot See treats viewers to flashbacks that provide a deeper understanding of Marie-Laure's childhood and her profound connection with her father. These scenes underscore the loneliness and separation experienced by the central characters during the war.
The plot of All the Light We Cannot See delves into the lives of Marie-Laure Leblanc, a young blind girl in France, and Werner Pfennig, a German teen, as they navigate the landscape of World War II.
Fleeing to the coastal town of St. Malo, Marie-Laure and her father must make use of every ounce of their intellect and courage to make it through. However, their actions draw the attention of the Nazis, leading to the recruitment of a teenager named Werner, played by Louis Hofmann, who possesses an unparalleled expertise in radio technology. His mission was to track down and eliminate Marie-Laure.
Mark Ruffalo takes on the role of Daniel Leblanc in the series. In the beginning, he reportedly had some reservations about going to Europe for the shoot. However, director Shawn Levy's unwavering belief in him for the part ultimately convinced him. Here is how Ruffalo expressed his admiration for Levy:
"He moved heaven and earth to get me there and believed in me for the part. What was wonderful was just seeing him fly in that genre, which is something he'd never done before. He knew exactly what he was doing, though."

As a Netflix Original Limited Series, All the Light We Cannot See will exclusively be available for streaming on the platform. So viewers can dive into the world of Marie-Laure, Daniel, and Werner, and witness their lives unfold during one of the most tumultuous periods in history.
