ASHCAN is a theatrical docu-fiction. It tells the story of the secret prison where the main Nazi leaders were incarcerated following the Allied victory on 8 May 1945 under US authority at Mondorf-les-Bains, Luxembourg: Hermann Göring, Karl Dönitz, Wilhelm Keitel, Alfred Rosenberg, Robert Ley, Hans Frank, Julius Streicher, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, Lutz von Krosigk, Franz von Papen. It was the grey period between the end of the war and the Nuremberg Trials.

The Allies had won the Second World War, but they knew almost nothing of the Nazi regime that had bathed Europe in fire and blood. They want to understand.

The film immerses the audience in the heart of US military intelligence. Foregoing any use of force or torture, a handful of young American officers obtained extraordinary information about the conquered regime from some of the worst criminals against humanity.

The film uncovers information kept secret to this day.
