Maria (Naomi Watts) and Henry (Ewan McGregor) are enjoying their winter vacation in Thailand with their three young children. But on the morning of December 26, 2004, while enjoying that paradise after a beautiful Christmas night, a tsunami of devastating proportions hits the place, dragging everything in its path. Separated into two groups, the mother and the oldest child will face desperate situations to stay alive, while somewhere else, the father and the two youngest children have no idea if the other two are alive. That's when they begin to live a tragic life lesson, moved by the hope of a reunion and mixing the most diverse feelings.
