Buenos Aires is invaded by the living-dead.

Argentina, December 2001. Víctor Aranda is the accountant of a financier. His ex-wife is chasing him for an increase in his monthly support fee. His current partner doesn't see any future in their relationship and is willing to abandon him for a scholarship that was granted in Paris. He doesn't see any way to escape his fate, until the owner of the financier tells him that he will make a big scam and he will run away with all the money.

Gonzalo Romero, a young Argentine lawyer, struggles to find his place in a world ruled by pessimism. When his father and brother are assaulted by the nephew of a senator, he sets out on a long journey to bring the aggressor to trial.

The Night of the Pencils was a series of kidnappings and forced disappearances, followed by the torture, rape, and murder of a number of young students during the last Argentine dictatorship (known as the National Reorganization Process). The kidnappings took place over the course of several days beginning on September 16, 1976.
