The story is about Allan Karlsson, a 100-year-old man who ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he’s still in good health, and that the days are getting tedious. When the celebration of his 100th birthday approaches, which Allan isn’t interested in at all, he decides to escape his boring everyday life. He climbs out of a window and a series of events embarks him on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving a gang of criminals, murderers, a suitcase stuffed with cash, an elephant and an incompetent policeman. The comedy, based on the bestselling novel by Jonas Jonasson, has been published in 38 countries and has sold more than six million copies worldwide. In Sweden, the film is breaking all the box office records and is aiming to overtake the top-grossing film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
