Based on the bestselling novel by Jonas Jonasson, this unforgettable Swedish blockbuster is a delightful, sometimes dark, and often colourful comedy of unexpected surprises.

Allan (played by popular Swedish actor/comedian Robert Gustafsson) is a 100-year-old man with an eventful past who keeps stumbling into extraordinary circumstances. On the eve of his 100th birthday, Allan ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. A big celebration has been planned for him, but Allan really isn’t interested and decides to escape.

He embarks on a hilarious journey involving a suitcase stuffed with cash, unpleasant criminals and an elephant. But Allan is more than equipped to deal with unique situations after being involved in some of the most important events of the 20th century, having shared meals and more with everyone from Franco, Stalin, and Truman to Reagan and Gorbachev.
