Meet Estelle Rolie. A labor supporting left winger, who wears legwarmers or orthopedic shoes, most of all Estelle loves Greta Garbo. Estelle's a fighter; she wouldn't let her son go an a grammar school trip to a steel mill because the workers were on strike. "Everyone came home with a little box of nails," Gilly (Ron Silver) recalls as he scolds his middle-aged mom for her political activities. He's just bailed her out of jail for another one of her anti-establishment antics. But not a moment too soon, because when Estelle hears construction workers yell...

There was little of the exuberance, or the fear, that had been variously predicted for the country's first trip to the polls since the 1979 revolution that overthrew Dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle. Indeed, the Nicaraguan election mood was one of indifference, as citizens lined up to make their choices, then ink their thumbs as a guarantee against double voting.
