This film is based on the internationally best -selling novel by Jonas Jonasson, the unlikely story of a 100 year-old man, Allan Karlsson, who decided its not too late to start over. Allan is self-confident without being self-absorbed, empathetic without being maudlin, and entirely unconcerned with what anyone thinks of him. Daft and delightful, this uplifting entertainment is a character study, awild adventure, and black comedy rolled into one.
