Carla's Song

★ 6.8/10•1996•2h 5m•18•War•Drama•Romance

A dream called freedom. A nightmare called Nicaragua.

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.
