I dag börjar livet

Life Begins Today (Swedish: I dag börjar livet) is a 1939 Swedish drama film directed by Schamyl Bauman and starring Sture Lagerwall, Sonja Wigert and Nils Ohlin.[1] It was shot at the Centrumateljéerna Studios in Stockholm. The film's sets were designed by the art director Arthur Spjuth. It is based on the 1933 play Pétrus by the French writer Marcel Achard.

Wera Holm, a ballerina, waits outside an apartment block with a pistol waiting for the womanising choreographer who has now dropped her for one of the other dancers. She takes two shots at him, misses, and then dives into a nearby apartment of the artist Petrus Sommar. When the choreographer turns up dead, it appears there is someone else who has reason to kill him.
