Children of Nature

(Börn náttúrunnar), Fridrik Thór Fridriksson / IS-N-D, 1991
Icelandic, czech subtitles, 85 min

Old Thorgeir must leave his home far off in the icelandic 'countryside' and move into a home for senior citizens in Reykjavik. There he meets an old friend from his childhood, Stella. Thorgeir soon becomes unhappy living there and together with Stella he steals a jeep. Together they leave the city for Stella's old home in northwestern Iceland. A drama who asks us: how important is it to have a long life if you have to leave everything that has a meaning for you?
