Spring of Life (Spanish: Primavera de la vida, Swedish: Livets vår) is 1957 Argentine-Swedish drama film directed by Arne Mattsson and starring Nicole Berger, Folke Sundquist and Pedro Laxalt. It was shot in studios in Buenos Aires and on location in the region. The film's sets were designed by the art director Gori Muñoz.
