Carla's Song

Directed by Ken Loach

With Robert Carlyle, Oyanka Cabezas, Scott Glenn, Louise Goodall and Salvador Espinoza

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.
