Carla's Song
1996 · 2h 5m · Drama, Romance, War · Germany, Spain · Rated 18 (KR)
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.
