Synopsis

Maria, Henry and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of 26 December, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the centre of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her. www.loimposible-lapelicula.com

Director's Statement

Making THE IMPOSSIBLE has been an emotional journey, a voyage which has transformed an extraordinary real story into a movie adventure, having transformed many of us as moviemakers and, even more importantly, as people.
