Cuba is well known as a so-called time capsule. The place where the New World was discovered has become both a romantic vision and a warning. With ongoing global cultural and financial upheavals, large parts of the world could face a similar kind of existence.

Dark Night enigmatically unfolds over the course of a lazy summer day, as it traces the events leading up to a mass shooting in a suburban multiplex. Abandoning the narrative confines of the true crime genre, the story is told through fragmented moments from the lives of several characters, whose fates are tragically intertwined. As the sky grows darker, the placid surface of daily life becomes disturbed by a lurking and inevitable horror.

En 1952, el general Fulgencio Batista orquestó un golpe de estado en Cuba, tomó el control del gobierno del país y suspendió las elecciones. Su corrupta dictadura estaba respaldada por un ejército de 40.000 hombres, pero un joven abogado llamado Fidel Castro intentó incitar a la rebelión popular asaltando el cuartel Moncada el 26 de julio de 1953. El ataque no tuvo éxito y Castro pasó dos años en la cárcel antes de ir al exilio en México. Entre tanto, un joven idealista argentino llamado Ernesto Guevara se había involucrado en la actividad política de Guatemala. En 1954, cuando el gobierno legítimo de Jacobo Álvarez fue depuesto por una operación militar organizada por la CIA, Guevara escapó a México. Un conocido de Guatemala le puso en contacto con un grupo de revolucionarios cubanos en el exilio.
