Far till sol och vår

Martin Wide inherits a bus from his late grandfather and fixes it up turning it from a dilapidated shed into a bright touring vehicle. He posts an ad offering a sunny excursion and also looks for a stewardess. Vera Boman, a sharp eyed reporter, signs on hoping to expose the travel hoax. As the bus leaves snowy Sweden and heads toward Paris, the uneasy mix of passengers becomes a microcosm of old world quirks and new ambitions. Behind the cheerful cover of a holiday trip a jewel theft thread runs through the cast, complicating stops and reroutes and testing Martin's ability to care for his riders. The film knits mishaps, humor and human moments into a breezy road odyssey.

Directed by Lars-Eric Kjellgren, the film adapts Olle Strandbergs material and was released in 1957 as a breezy Swedish crime comedy about a travel venture gone awry. It blends jaunty banter with light suspense and showcases a cast of colorful travelers as the trip unfolds.
