Description

Allan Karlsson may be celebrating his hundredth birthday, but he’s not keen on the festivities waiting for him. Instead, he decides that life is too short to sit around and listen to anyone’s speeches, so he hops out the window for an impromptu adventure. What ensues feels like a whirlwind journey, filled with unexpected encounters and peculiar happenings that lead him far and wide, proving that age is just a number and spontaneity often brings the best surprises.

As Allan stumbles into the adventures of a lifetime, from a suitcase full of cash to unexpected friendships, he reflects on his colorful past, filled with world-changing events and extraordinary circumstances. Funny, insightful, and often absurd, his odyssey is a delightful reminder that life can take the most unexpected turns, and sometimes all it takes is a leap through a window to realize it.
