Starring Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie this Netflix limited series is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name.

Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer, 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. Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and hope.
