Converting .htaccess to nginx (mod_rewrite)

Question

I've got the following .htaccess file for my apache:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  Options +FollowSymlinks    
# Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^$          index.php       [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}         !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}         !-d
  RewriteRule (.*)        index.php?page=$1  [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Suddenly I had to change my webserver to nginx and I don't know why, but the mod rewrite is not working.

I used an online 'converter' to convert it, so I've got the following:

location / {
  rewrite ^/$ /         index.php       break;
  if ($request_filename ~         !-f){
    rewrite ^(.*)$ /       index.php?page=$1   break;
  }
}

Could you help me what's wrong?

Thanks in advance, Marcell

Everything is inside. No more .htaccess, no more complex rules use try_files.

EDIT: And if it is not obvious, do not trust online converters.
