Albert Speer, Hitler's chief architect and one of his closest confidants, was spared the death sentence at Nuremberg. Despite being responsible for 12 million slave laborers, he is often referred to as "the good Nazi" due to his self-constructed reputation. The film follows Speer as he works on a screenplay based on his memoir, using unpublished audio cassettes recorded by screenwriter Andrew Birkin. The audio is supplemented by rare archival footage, creating a narrative that provides ironic and chilling tension.
