Carla's Song (1996)
Directed by Ken Loach
“A dream called freedom. A nightmare called Nicaragua.”
War, Drama, Romance · 2h 05m
1987, love in time of war: bus driver George meets Carla, a Nicaraguan exile living a precarious, profoundly-sad life in Glasgow. Her back is scarred, her boyfriend missing, her family dispersed; she's suicidal. George takes her to Nicaragua to find out what's happened to them and help her face her past.
