From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carla's Song (1996) is a British movie directed by Ken Loach with screenplay by Paul Laverty.

Set in 1987, it tells the story of the relationship between a Scottish bus driver, George Lennox (Robert Carlyle) and a Nicaraguan woman living in exile in Glasgow. Searching for her past - her family and boyfriend - they return to war-torn Nicaragua, into the thick of the U.S. sponsored Contra war against the Sandinistas.
