It's about some rich folk, family of four, who can afford their own cruiser and are out on the high seas when suddenly there's a storm which throws them all over the place, knocks them all unconscious through fatigue, and when they wake up in the morning, as depicted in the trailer, there's no water under them. The sea has gone. No ocean!
Eventually they blame this on an event which switched the poles of the earth and all the water became land and land, water - so maybe a bit daft and extreme - but the filmmakers have made the most, then, of the survival adventure of the family members in question. They manage to track down another survivor by radio who is sitting in his submarine, similarly on the newly-formed land, and who has worked out that the reverse will happen at any moment and wash them all away!
So they have to leg it across the seascape (now land) which is a three day hike. There are some twists and turns along the way (though that poster gives at least one of them away!), some nastiness and gore thrown in for good measure and at least one surprise! I thought it was actually pretty well done if you ignore all the unlikely aspects of it (and daft ending) and simply enjoy it as a little survival/adventure yarn. It kept me hooked, but then maybe I'm easily pleased!
It's in French, German and English (don't ask!) but with subtitles where needed. It's only an hour and a half long and I reckon, well worth a look! Don't know the director or anyone in it but it's quite good, if far-fetched, fun!
