In December 2004, close-knit family Maria, Henry and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand. But the day after Christmas, the idyllic holiday turns into an incomprehensible nightmare when a terrifying roar rises from the depths of the sea, followed by a wall of black water that devours everything in its path. Though Maria and her family face their darkest hour, unexpected displays of kindness and courage ameliorate their terror.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral account of a family torn apart by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, balancing unbearable physical and emotional devastation with moments of profound human compassion. It's a film that puts you through genuine distress but anchors itself in acts of grace.
