All The Light We Cannot See is a film adaptation of Anthony Doer’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, which follows the journey of Marie-Laure (played by Aria Mia Loberti), a young blind girl and her father, Daniel LeBlanc (played by Mark Ruffalo). The two flee from German-occupied Paris with a valuable diamond, trying to keep it away from the Nazis. However, they are relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who desires to possess the precious stone for his own selfish reasons.
