Smart and ruthless, with a dark past, a fluid sexuality and a taste for whiskey and easy money, Stella takes on cases that always lead to danger; and the only thing she likes about rules is breaking them, or using them to break her opponents. Stella Blómkvist is produced by acclaimed Icelandic producer Sagafilm with support from the Icelandic Film Centre, the Ministry of Industries and Innovation and distributed by Lumière in the Benelux.
