Late in life, writer Albert is experiencing a severe case of writer's block. When he, for the first time in decades, returns to a desolate island, old memories come back to revisit him. These memories turn out to have a cathartic effect on his writing, but are also pulling him deeper and deeper into a frightening dreamscape, where the lines between suppressed trauma and his darkest fantasies blur completely. Things are no longer what they seem to be.

Alex's high opinion of himself isn't backed up by reality as he is unemployed and having trouble with his girlfriend. When he finally gets a job with the local council/municipality of Hudiksvall his life is about to change. Suddenly Alex finds himself the leader of a local theatre group of people with learning difficulties. Through their work together, Alex comes to appreciate that we all have our own talents which can grow if given the opportunity and support. "The Importance of Tying Your Own Shoes" is based on the work of the Glada Hudik Theatre whose performances have met with success in Sweden and internationally since it was formed in 1996.
