Contents Summary
A 19-year-old and her baby daughter live in a park in the Nicaraguan capital. How does she survive, homeless with a newborn baby? "Karla's Arrival" follows 19-year old mother Sujeylin Aguilar and her baby Karla, as they struggle through the first year of the child's life. One day after being born, Karla travels in a cardboard box straight from the hospital to her future home: a park in the Nicaraguan capital Managua. Her underage mother Sujeylin ran away from home, became a drug addict and ended up on the streets, where she met Karla's father Juan Carlos. The story starts three months before Karla's birth and ends around her first birthday. For eight years now, Sujeylin has been living off the generosity of her wheeling-and-dealing boyfriend and the NGO's peppering the city. She doesn't expect the arrival of her baby to change much in her own life, planning to raise her in the park where she forms part of a group of colorful characters she considers her only family. Karla's Arrival takes its audience on the intense personal journey of a young woman's venture into motherhood under extreme circumstances. Narrated by the protagonist herself and told with gracious intimacy, the film offers a story full of hope, covering a universal issue we have not yet been exposed to.
