Candy

The talented painter Candy (Abbie Cornish) falls in love with the occasional poet and junkie Dan (Heath Ledger). With him, she experiences boundless passion and flights of fancy in drug intoxication, which turn every everyday banality into an adventure. But reality is brutally catching up with both of them. Money is running out, followed by arguments about the next shot, shoplifting and prostitution. Although the crash is inevitable, they get married. It is a desperate attempt to save their partnership. But when the marriage stumbles, Candy's psyche is also thrown into disarray. Her anger over the failure of the relationship drives a wedge between the two lovers. When Candy can no longer stand the dance on the volcano, she dares to go to rehab.
