action

Max Simkin is a shoemaker who spends his monotonous everyday life in a New York shoemaker's shop that has been in the family for generations. One day, a magical heirloom falls into his hands that gives him a very special ability: From now on he can slip into the lives of his customers when he is wearing their shoes that have been repaired with the leather sewing machine. Max is seduced to use his new skills for questionable purposes. For example, he takes on the form of a customer to get closer to his pretty girlfriend, slips into his father Abraham's shoes so that his mother can see him again and finally ends up in the body of a corpse and becomes the walking dead. But Max only gets into real trouble in Ludlow's shoes, because his client is a dangerous gangster. Max has to understand that it is a privilege, but also a great responsibility, to walk in another man's shoes.
