An upside-down world where women are in power and men look after the family. Domenico retells his story to his daughter starting with a tender memory. In a letter he re-lives the joys of her birth, her childhood, the dreams of a happy family, but also of the painful sacrifices of a father and husband, sacrifices that suffocated his real aspirations and desires. Using found footage, In Her Shoes rewrites History: men united in a liberation movement. The images from our past no longer tell of who we were, but create a challenge. What would men have done if they found themselves in women's shoes?
