Their Christmas holiday in Thailand turned into a nightmare when the Indian Ocean tsunami came crashing into their resort on 26 December 2004, leaving them bruised and scattered. She was terrified, alone and convinced that she was going to die. Luckily she found her eldest son and in their struggle to survive they reunited at a hospital, where she was treated, with the rest of the family. Their miracle has inspired a film, The Impossible.

The film, directed by Juan Antonio Bayona and written by Sergio Sánchez, won many awards. The film with its simplicity and conviction, manages to be more than just a conventional disaster movie.
