How did Kurt become who he was? Why was he never elected class monitor? When did Arne come into the picture? And what happened when this dynamic duo did their military service? And Gudrun, who does she really like best? You'll find the answers in the film about Kurtan. Kurtan seems to have his fingers in everything... from the shipyard crisis to the switch to right-hand traffic... and somehow everything seems to go wrong...

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kurt Olsson originated from a 1987 TV sketch that became a beloved Swedish everyman—the anti-hero of the welfare state's cracks.
The right-hand traffic switch sequence was filmed on the actual Dagen H anniversary, with Brandeby causing real traffic confusion in costume.
