Lo Imposible

Thailand, winter. A child's inflatable ball. Palm trees sway, as a vacationing family settles into postcard serenity, pre-Christmas. Then, an unfathomable roar and churning black tide swallow the coast. Stranded, injured, they search for each other amid the devastation. Bayona orchestrates disaster with Spielbergian scale.
