“When all you wanted was to be wanted.”
Swept up in a whirlwind of attention and mixed signals, Candy attempts to balance her yearning for love with the adolescent struggle of self-worth and identity. She toes the fragile boundary between love and obsession while failing to grasp the stark realities of heartbreaks and teenage friendships. At her breaking point, Candy faces the burning desire to be seen with a moment of fiery, irreversible reckoning.
