Henry Barrett (Ewan McGregor) is a family man that works in Japan and Maria (Naomi Watts) is a doctor but she does not work to raise their sons Lucas (Tom Holland), Thomas (Samuel Joslin) and Simon (Oaklee Pendergast).They are surprised by the South Asian tsunami and Maria and Lucas help each other and survive. However, Maria is seriously wounded and there is a total lack of resources in the crowded hospital. Meanwhile Henry finds his two younger sons in a palm tree, leaves them is a shelter to seek out Lucas and Maria throughout a devastated country.“Lo impossible” is a realistic Spanish movie about the fate of a family in the tragic 2004 South Asian tsunami with fantastic performances of Tom Holland and Naomi Watts that deserved the nomination not only to the Oscar, but to other Cinema Festivals. The special effects are amazing and give the sensation that the Naomi Watts and Tom Holland have been really caught by the waters. My vote is eight.
