The impossible

This film recreates the real case of a Spanish family that survived the 2004 Thai Tsunami that left thousands dead. naomi watts plays the mother of the family, Maria while her husband is played by Ewan Mcgregor. Maria stays with her eldest son, a little Tom Holland, after the tsunami hits while her husband stays with the younger children. The scene of the arrival of this giant wave that “swallows” everything in its path is shocking and is perhaps one of the most heartbreaking in disaster cinema since it has the seasoning of having been real. The struggle to survive of this family that is separated on the one hand the mother with the eldest son and on the other the father with the two youngest children, is the axis of the film that only cuts in one case the chaos generated by that tsunami. You can see it in Netflix.
