This four episode mini-series tells the story of Marie-Laure, a French
blind teenager girl living in occupied Saint-Malo during World War II. Left
there by her father, who had to leave to get the Nazi soldiers away from his
family, she does a daily broadcast on home radio equipment. She crosses path
with Werner, a German soldier with a soft spot who was picked by the Nazis from
an orphanage and used for his knowledge on radios.
Based on the novel of the same name, this is a beautiful mini-series. It starts slow, but it gets more and more riveting as it goes along, building to an emotional crescendo. The acting is superb, and so are the writing and directing. This was absolutely brilliant. It was nice seeing Hugh Laurie again. Overall, I can only highly recommend this.
