All Is As It Should Be is a Swedish play about being a woman today, the demands imposed on women and a society where a flawless appearance is of the utmost importance. The play is like a puzzle, a claustrophobic bubble, an ongoing state of mind. The search for a perfect appearance and a beautiful surface has become a modern-time disease, everybody has a market price based on their looks, body, career, home, car, husband and children. The most important thing is to be seen in the right context and to be someone in the eye of the beholder. Who are you when you are all on your own? The truth is never said in words, but lies in between the words.
