La Palma Series Synopsis: Family Struggle Trapped In Mountain Eruption

JAKARTA - The La Palma series is the latest title released on Netflix. The series, directed by Kasper Barfood, is the result of the collaboration between three creators, namely Martin Sundland, Lars Gudmestad, and Haruid Rosenl

This Norwegian series is not adaptation but is inspired by a true story where a similar incident took place on La Palma Island in 2021. La Palma is a native island including the Cumbre Vieja on Canary Island as an active merapi mountain.

Check out the synopsis of the La Palma series below:

La Palma tells the story of Fredrik's family who go to celebrate Christmas by going to La Palma Island. Fredrik (Anders Baasmo Christiansen) with his wife, Jennifer (Ingrid Bolsmen Berdal) and their two children, Sara (Alma G Yunnther) and Tobias (Bernard Storm Lager).

Fredrik's family always go on vacation at the end of the year so their vacation this time is not much different from their previous vacation. When they arrived at La Palma, they felt lucky because the room they were staying in received an upgrade from the hotel.

On the other hand, researchers Marie (Thea Sofie Loch N calmsss) and Haukur (Darri calmsson) found that a volatile eruption would soon occur and could cause an explosion.

They also found this eruption has the potential for destruction, not only on La Palma Island but across the continent. Marie and Haukur began to persuade ERavaro (Jorge de Juan), their superiors for the findings.

Fredrik's family began to see oddities when the ash from the eruption caused various accidents. Volcano eruptions began and tourists were asked to evacuate. Fredrik and Jennifer had a fight that caused their vacation not to run smoothly.

With the volcano situation getting worse, Fredrik and his family had to save themselves. Likewise with the researchers.

This series is being discussed since its release on December 12. In Indonesia, La Palma occupies the second most-watched series this week.

The La Palma series is a limited series so it doesn't have a second and another season. The La Palma series has 4 episodes and can be watched on Netflix.
