Directed by Felix Herngren and MÃ¥ns Herngren, the film stars Robert Gustafsson, Iwar Wiklander, and David Wiberg in lead roles.

The story follows Allan Karlsson (Robert Gustafsson), a 101-year-old man who is bored with his life in a nursing home. On his birthday, he decides to go out for a meal with his friends Julius (Iwar Wiklander) and Benny (David Wiberg) at a luxurious hotel.

Allan, Julius, and Benny embark on a hilarious adventure as they are chased by the police, gangsters, and the hotel staff. They travel across Sweden, steal cars, and get involved in various misadventures. Along the way, they meet a diverse group of people, including a group of circus performers, a teenage girl running away from home, and even the Prime Minister of Sweden.

The film uses a non-linear narrative, with flashbacks to Allan's earlier life, where he worked on the Manhattan Project with Robert Oppenheimer and later became involved in the Soviet nuclear weapons program. These flashbacks are depicted in a humorous way and add to the overall comedy of the film.
