Thailand's Phuket is one of the hardest hit. In that terrible disaster, the survival of the victims made up the stories of miracles. One of those stories was told on the big screen by the Spanish director, Juan Antonio Bayona, as The Impossible.

While Maria was dumbfounded with fear, a huge wall of black water sped across the hotel playground, heading straight for her.
