Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Children of Nature (Börn náttúrunnar) is a 1991 film from Iceland directed by Fridrik Thor Fridriksson.Thorgeir is an elderly man living on a sheep farm. In his late seventies, it seems he can no longer look after his sheep. After shooting his dog, he makes an unannounced visit to Reykjavik and his daughter's apartment. But his daughter and her husband seem that thrilled about Thorgeir living with them, and his granddaughter throws a tantrum when Thorgeir takes some of the pictures down in her room.So Thorgeir's family dumps him in an old folks' home. It is a pretty unpleasant one, being a glorified prison where the residents are confined to the grounds, limited to how much pocket money they can hold, and chucked into their rooms if they make too much of a fuss. One of the people who makes a lot of fuss is Stella, an old lady who turns out to be an old acquaintance of Thorgeir's; they both grew up in the same village in northern Iceland.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Stella loathes the home. Thorgeir, who seemed like he was going to resign himself to his fate, instead decides to run away with her. They steal a car parked across the street from the home, and go on what's basically a joyride across Iceland, headed to their hometown. Eventually, things start to get strange. | |

Abandoned Warehouse: The end has Thorgeir wandering around what appears to be an old, clearly long-abandoned military post on the north coast, clearly an American installation from the war. | |

Actor Allusion: Bruno Ganz has a cameo at the end as the angel that apparently welcomes Thorgeir into the afterlife. Ganz famously played an angel in Wings of Desire. | |

Bleak Abyss Retirement Home | |
| Children of Nature / int_79e43350 | comment |
Bleak Abyss Retirement Home: The old folks' home in Reykjavik. There doesn't appear to be any sign of overt physical abuse, but it is clearly a warehouse where people wait to die, and the nurses are really jailers. The administrator, while claiming that everyone is free in the home, also tells Thorgeir and his daughter that the staff limits how much pocket money the residents can hold. Notably, the secretary that serves them coffee asks the daughter "how does he take it?", rather than asking Thorgeir, who is sitting right there. When Thorgeir first arrives Stella is being forcibly taken back to her room; later we learn that she was caught at the bus station. After she gets a little to vocal when complaining to Thorgeir, she is again forcibly escorted back to her room. The two of them eventually escape in the middle of the night. | |
