Based on the Internationally best-selling novel by Jonas Jonasson, this is the wonderful and unlikely story of a 100-year man who decides it’s not too late to start over.
After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home. A big celebration for his 100th birthday is in the works, but Allan really isn’t interested. Instead, he climbs out of a window and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey – involving a gang of criminals, murderers, a suitcase stuffed with cash, an elephant and an incompetent policeman.
In flashbacks to his life Allan has witnessed some of the most important events of the 20th century, including the invention of the atomic bomb and sharing meals and more with everyone from US presidents to Russian tyrants.
