In 2007 the psychologist Einar Lunga got the diagnosis proliferated prostate cancer. His first reaction was to think of himself as dead already, but then he wrote a song about how one could walk away from all disease. For him, "Walking with himself" turned out to be a way of digesting the changes that were happening in his body and mind, especially as the cancer treatment destroyed his sexuality and he become more like a woman. Although he cannot escape his illness, "disappearance acts", through long pilgrimages to Spain and to remote places in Western Norway, where his hero, the philosopher Wittgenstein, lived for a period. The film follows him on the road, an how the illness in spite of all help him get closer to himself and the important things in his life; his girlfriend Herdis, his male friends, and all the emotions that are stirred up as he balances on the edge of life.
