The film is about a man named Benjamin (played by Ricardo Darin), who is retired from working with the criminal court, and decides to write a book on a case he worked on twenty years previously. The case, which dealt with a horrible rape and murder of a young woman and mother, was not resolved correctly in Benjamin's opinion. He teams up with his drunken friend, Sandoval, played by Argentinean comedian Guillermo Francella. Clumsily, they go around gathering clues and information to find the actual murderer, making a scene almost everywhere they go. The whole time, he struggles to have this case reopened and resolved.

The Secret in Their Eyes "has a twisty narrative that comes together quite powerfully in the end" according to film website IndieWire.http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/312567,argentinas-the-secret-in-their-eyes-strives-for-oscar-glory.html
