Together with their friends Annika and Tommy, they experience a wild and crazy summer. When Pippi moves into the village, everything immediately seems to be turned upside down. Of course, there is a lot of trouble with adults who don't really want to see the little tomboy in their orderly world. But whatever rules and
order the adults have come up with is simply thrown overboard by Pippi!
From a police alarm to a hilarious bank robbery - nothing goes according to plan, and that's exactly what makes this movie such great fun for young and old. Pippi out of control is pure joie de vivre, a firework of humor and unconventional ideas that will leave you laughing and immersed in Pippi's crazy world.
