Children (Icelandic: Börn (pronunciation)) is a 2006 Icelandic film. Highly acclaimed[citation needed], the film won several Edda Awards, and was also submitted as Iceland's official entry to the Academy Awards foreign film section. The film is set in the Breiðholt suburb of Reykjavík, and portrays a grittiness in stark contrast to the tourist-friendly portrayal of the Icelandic capital.[1]

The sequel Parents was released in 2007.
