About Stella Runs for Office
Stella and Salomon run a business together, framkoma.is. Salomon is hired by Anton Skúlason, pilot, to beautify and transform a village, that he owns. Stella stays in the town and starts teaching politicians how to act for the coming elections. By accident Stella gets involved with the Centrum party, the main rival of the Central party, and before she knows it she's head over heals in politics.
Directed by Guðný Halldórsdóttir, Stella Runs for Office leans on a strong ensemble — Edda Björgvinsdóttir, Þórhallur Sigurðsson, Rúrik Haraldsson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2002.
