Outline

During the Battle of Saint-Malo, blind French teenager Marie-Laure LeBlanc illegally broadcasts excerpts from the novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea over a radio. Her broadcasts contain coded messages for the French Resistance, as relayed by her great-uncle Etienne. Werner Pfennig, a teenage German radio operator with the occupying Nazi forces, secretly listens to Marie-Laure’s broadcasts without turning her in. A new radio operator is assigned to assist Werner, but Werner kills him to protect Marie-Laure. Reinhold von Rumpel, a Nazi jeweler who believes Marie-Laure’s missing father Daniel has left the Sea of Flames, a cursed diamond rumoured to bestow immortality, corners Marie-Laure in a grotto and demands the diamond’s location.
