Directed by Ken Loach.
With Robert Carlyle, Scott Glenn, Oyanka Cabezas.

A “one-of-a-kind-film. Passion and politics come together in Ken Loach’s fierce mix of love and solidarity” (Jay Carr, Boston Globe). In Glasgow, a Scottish bus driver (THE FULL MONTY’s chief charmer, Robert Carlyle) falls in love with a beautiful Nicaraguan refugee as the Sandinista—Contra war rages across her homeland. First and foremost a tremendously affecting love story, the new film from the legendary British director of LAND AND FREEDOM and RIFF-RAFF won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival. “A moving, rhapsodic love story that’s also part political thriller. Carlyle is an actor of astonishing range and depth”—Boxoffice. Unrated. 1998. 127 Min.
