Sometimes there isn’t a more gripping story than that of a father and daughter struggling to escape and save each other in the time of WMD that changed the world and countless families.

After announcing the project early last year, the Netflix series is set to premiere on the platform in November. According to the Hollywood Reporter, a new teaser trailer was released recently, giving us a first look at the amazing Pulitzer Prize-winning story of Daniel and Marie-Laurie LeBlanc.

All The Light We Cannot See is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning story of the same name written and published in 2014. Behind the four-episode series is Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy and Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight.

The cast includes newcomer Aria Mia Loberti, Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, Louis Hofmann (Dark), Lars Eidinger (White Noise) and Andrea Deck (Homeland).

The trailer opens with the sounds of distant shelling and the eerie silence of the radio as we see Marie-Laure (Aria Mia Loberti) and Werner (Louis Hofmann), two teenagers on opposite sides of the battlefield during World War II . In the absence of dialogue, we hear the melody of a piano.

Hitler’s conquest of Europe extends into France, with bombings hitting cities ever closer to Paris. The teenager Marie-Laure is blind, her father Daniel works at the Museum of Natural History, Werner, an intelligent teenager forcibly conscripted into a Nazi training camp to detect illegal emissions.

The Nazi army soon occupies the capital of Paris, forcing Marie-Laure and her father to flee to the seaside town of Malo with a “legendary diamond” sought by the Gestapo. There they stay with Uncle Etien, a reclusive World War I veteran who works for the resistance by secretly broadcasting radio broadcasts. This unites the two young people in the story and connects them with faith in humanity and hope in the wake of the destruction caused by the war.

All The Light We Cannot See is set to premiere on Netflix on November 2nd.
