Old Men in New Cars

The action comedy to end all action comedies! Written by the Academy Award-winning screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen.

Few minutes after Harald has been released from jail, he is reminded that he has a larger debt which is to be paid now. Furthermore, he finds out that his foster father, the Monk, is dying. The Monk’s last wish is that Harald shall track down his biological son Ludvig. Ludvig is behind bars in Sweden so assisted by the two chefs Peter and Martin, Harald frees him. Later when it turns out that the father needs a liver transplant, the two sons decide to rob a bank.
