Children of Nature
An old man who lives by himself decides to give up farming and move to the city, where he has a difficult time settling in and ends up in an old people's home. There he meets an old flame who dreams of being buried on the farm where she grew up, which has now been deserted for years. One night they flee together in search of adventure.
