Al norte de Argentina, en la provincia de Tucumán, casi 40 años después de la última Dictadura Militar (1976-1983), han comenzado a aparecer restos de personas desaparecidas. 'La Noche del Mundo' cuenta la historia del Pozo de Vargas, una fosa clandestina en la que durante un tiempo fueron arrojadas más de 70 personas, algunas incluso con vida. La aparición de restos humanos está suponiendo un profundo cambio tanto en materia de justicia como en cuestiones relacionadas con los derechos humanos y la memoria histórica. El documental desciende a lo más profundo del pozo para rescatar, a través de las voces de sus familiares, las historias de aquellos que durante décadas permanecieron enterrados en esta fosa.

Neves and his wife Celia are the owners and managers of the 'Little Star Pension', a familiar hotel that caters to bourgeois family and would-be actors, instead of the ill-reputed 'Good-Night Pension' (just across the narrow street), where gigolos, whores, and criminals of all sorts may go for a quick encounter. However, not all is well among the ten residents of 'Little Star Pension': each dialogue line from every hotel guest is evidence that he, or her, has a reason (actually, more than one) to hate Neves - to the point of wishing him dead. Carelessness (or devious intention) by one party will provide the means; another, will create the propitious moment; yet another, and then the rest of them will create the festive New Year's Eve occasion - to do with Neves forever! Obviously, only the famous world private-eye Hércules Pirôt can solve the crime... for which he is called by phone, even before the deed is done.
