Set in 1987 during the guerilla war between Nicaragua's Contras and Sandinistas, this film teaches the evils behind the war and the passion of politics. In fact, the film's diatribe against U.S. involvement has been blamed for the lack of distribution in this country. The story begins in Glasgow with the meeting of George (Robert Carlyle) and a refugee, Carla (Oyanka Cabezas), and follows the couple during Carla's return to Nicaragua to deal with her past.
