Children of Nature () is a 1991 Icelandic film directed by Friðrik ÃÂór Friðriksson. It was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 64th Academy Awards, the only Icelandic film to have ever been nominated.
ÃÂorgeir, an old man living in the Icelandic countryside, has grown too old to continue running his farm, and moves to the city, but is made to feel unwelcome in his daughter and son-in-law's urban dwelling. Dumped into a home for the elderly in ReykjavÃÂk, he meets an old girlfriend from his youth, who wants to be buried in her home village. ÃÂorgeir steals a jeep and he and Stella elude the police. Eventually, they reach Stella's village in Hornstrandir, which has been abandoned for years. Stella dies on the beach and ÃÂorgeir buries her, fulfilling her wish. At the end, ÃÂorgeir walks barefoot across the rocky ground and a rescue helicopter appears, but ÃÂorgeir vanishes in the mist.
