'Carla's Song', a film by Ken Loach, tells the story of the relationship betweeen George, a feckless Scottish bus driver, and Carla, a refugee from Nicaragua who is adrift in Glasgow. The year is 1987 and in Carla's home country, the US-backed Contra rebels are mounting their final lethal assault against the Sandinista government. At first Carla resists George's attentions. But he persists, fascinated both by her beauty and by the traumatic mystery that he senses in her past. Emboldened by her love for George, Carla returns with him to Nicaragua and the turmoil which has engulfed that country.
