'Fram fr lilla Mrta' or 'P livets desvgar ' is a 1945 Swedish comedy film directed by Hasse Ekman and starring Stig Jrrel and Hasse Ekman.

Plot



The story takes its beginning in 2006 in Sweden, sixty years in the future from the present time at the making of the film. The elderly Sture Letterstrm (Stig Jrrel) travels to Lillkping together with a little girl who is his only living relative. They visit a statue of the famous cellist Mrta Letterstrm.

Sitting by the base of the statue, Sture tells his life story to his relative. The story begins in the 1940s, when the unemployed cellist Sture travels around the country to find work. He is unable to find a job, but his best friend Kurre (Hasse Ekman) spots an advert where a ladies' trio seeks a new cello player. Kurre convinces Sture to dress up as a lady, and he gets the job. Sture, as his female alter ego 'Mrta', travels to the little country town of Lillkping with the two other members of the trio, the sisters Inga (Elsie Albiin) and Barbro (Agneta Lagerfeldt). Kurre, pretending to be Mrta's fianc, also spends the summer in Lillkping, and the two fall in love with the sisters. 'Mrta' is admonished by his strict landlady (played by Julia Caesar) for visiting Kurre in his room, and he has to struggle to avoid being found out by Inga and Barbro.

'Mrta' makes friends in Lillkping and becomes a women's rights advocate. When the parliamentary election takes place, 'she' runs for office and wins, and lobbies for rights for women in the Riksdag. Meanwhile, in Lillkping, Kurre has told Barbro that 'Mrta' is actually a man, and when Sture returns after a successful term in parliament, he finds out that Inga knows his secret. They stage an accident where 'Mrta' drowns, and the grateful inhabitants of Lillkping erect the statue where, 60 years later, Sture tells his story to his great-granddaughter.
