Added April 12 to the Netflix movie catalog, Stolen it quickly climbed the Top 10 to take the top spot. It currently is the fourth most watched Netflix film in the world, but could still advance in the general classification.

A moving and “local” thriller.
Beyond its detective intrigue, well crafted but without innovating the genre, Stolen he is known for his photography and attention to detail of Sámi culture. A local culture where reindeer herding is central. Thereby, Stolen it’s very nice inside his photos. But it is also his intention to reconcile man with nature by magnifying it.
