1987, love in time of war. A bus driver George Lennox 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 has happened to them and to help her face her past. Once home, Carla's nightmarish memories take over, and Carla and George are thrown into the thick of the US war against the Sandinistas. A mystery develops over where Carla's boyfriend is, and the key to his whereabouts may be Carla's friend Bradley, a bitter American aid worker. She finds her family, the Contras attack, and she and the Scot face their choices.
“她出发找最爱今天也未回来”
这部特别不肯洛奇
白左圣母男青年为了爱情投身异国革命的故事，无论哪一点都站不住脚。除了急迫地像表达政治观点，想不出肯洛奇还有啥原因会拍这么一部片。
卡莱尔演的两部肯洛奇都从浪漫到悲伤天堂地狱之别非常残忍。卡拉，一条美丽热情的生命，和她的祖国尼加拉瓜一起，因为战乱和掠夺变得支离破碎。爱情在家国和战事面前都不值一提，太脆弱了。编剧拉弗蒂以前一直是做人权律师的，相信这种故事他真的经历了很多。面对怜爱的人却无能为力真的好绝望
