After a long and explosive life working in munitions, involving a multitude of seminal moments from the 20th century, including the Spanish Revolution, the atomic bomb, and the Cold War, Allan Karlsson finds himself--on his 100th birthday--stuck in a tranquil Swedish nursing home. Determined to escape the monotony, he hops out a window and kicks off a hilarious and unexpected adventure by way of a stolen briefcase, a harcore biker gang, and an escaped circus elephant named Sonya.
