When a blind girl named Marie-Laure is twelve, she and her father flee Paris for safety from the Nazis in her uncle's home. Meanwhile, a young German orphan named Werner finds escape in radio shows played on a crude radio he finds. As the war rages on, the two children grow older and are eventually brought together through Marie-Laure's voice reading stories over a radio as both are trapped in the perils of the war.
