The film won more than 50 million US dollars in box office in Spain, topping the box office of the year, and also became the most popular local film in Spanish film history.
-
The film had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in North America in September 2012, and then participated in the Sigis Film Festival in Spain.
-
The film is the first English-language film directed by the blockbuster Spanish director Bayana based on "The Orphanage".
-
The filming took 25 weeks and a total investment of 30 million euros.

Although it sounds like the theme of "Tsunami Miracle" and "Orphanage" are very different, in Bayana's eyes, "it is actually the same thing." "They are all about suffering pain and death of relatives, and movies about family." .

McGregor, who played the role of his father in the film, once said that what attracted him most in "Tsunami Miracle" was the "simple" and "cruel" of the story.

Maria Bennett: Yeah, it was the last thing I did.
Henry Bennett: No, I was the last one to leave. I was the last one to leave, and I'm sure I didn't set it.
Maria Bennett: No darling, I was the last one out, and I did. I promise.
Henry Bennett: You sure?
Maria Bennett: Yup.
Henry Bennett: K.
Henry Bennett: [after a long pause] No, no, I was the last one, 'cause I went back in, and that means the alarm is not set, 'cause I didn't set it.
Maria Bennett: Well, um, I guess that means we'll be coming home to a large bunch of hippies sleeping in our bed.
Henry Bennett: What, just like your old college days?
