Day of Disaster

Spain in the height of summer 1978: Experienced truck driver Miguel Mendes fills his tanker with highly explosive propylene gas. But today he is distracted by his son Mauricio. Unnoticed, he overloads the tank of his truck. He is looking forward to the next day. Together with Mauricio, he wants to head south to deliver the cargo. The overloaded truck becomes a ticking time bomb! Meanwhile, hundreds of sun-seeking vacationers, mostly Germans, are bustling about the Spanish campground, for whom a summer vacation on the Spanish coast is the highlight of the year.
