How it feels

A middle class Danish housewife looks back on her life and wonders about the singing career she gave up for her family. She lives comfortably with her husband and their two children who are into swing music. Her musical talent and good humor help her move past these moments of wistfulness.

What happens

Ta' briller på er en dansk film fra 1942, instrueret af Arne Weel efter et manuskript af Kjeld Abell. Fru Adda Ernst er en midaldrende dame af borgerskabet. Hun har en hyggelig mand, et dejligt hjem og to unge friske børn, Birgit og Hans, der som de fleste af deres jævnaldrende er stærkt swing-interesserede. Fru Adda selv er også meget musikalsk, hun spiller og synger udmærket og går med liv og sjæl op i sin musik. Undertiden kan hun henfalde i vemod over den karriere på de skrå brædder, som hun er gået glip af ved at blive stikkende i sin borgerlige tilværelse, men den slags små anfald går hurtigt over, for hun er fra naturens side udstyret med et godt og friskt humør.
