"After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson, an easygoing explosives expert, ends up in a nursing home believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he’s still in good health."
"A big celebration is in the works for his 100th birthday, but Allan really isn’t interested (and he’d like a bit more control over his alcohol consumption), so he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey."
"It would be the adventure of a lifetime for anyone else, but Allan has a larger-than-life backstory: he has not only witnessed some of the most important events of the 20th century, but actually played a key role in them."
