Resumen

This text analyses the image of motherhood presented in the Spanish film The Impossible (2012) based on two different contextual elements: the disaster film and the stereotype of the Mater dolorosa (Mother of Sorrows). The argument put forward is that the figure of the sacrificial mother that appears in the film responds to a specific moment of financial and social crisis in which traditional figures of the sacrificing and care-giving mother provide assurance in a world of widespread uncertainty.
