Carla's Song
“A dream called freedom. A nightmare called Nicaragua.”
WarDramaRomance
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.
VIBE
A tender, yet raw, exploration of love found amidst the ruins of war. It's a deeply human story that grapples with trauma and the quiet resilience of the human spirit, set against a backdrop of political turmoil.
