Candiland

Failed tennis star Peter struggles to rebuild his life after a car accident forces the end of his career. Angry at the world's consumerist values and his controlling father Arnie, at whom he's bitter for being absent during his mother's dying days, Peter desperately searches for a moment's peace. In an attempt at normality, he heads to a bar for a night out and encounters recently-divorced, grieving Tess. Finding solace in each other's brokenness, they withdraw to Peter's apartment and begin a sensual love affair. Days of bliss drift by, and when Tess reluctantly tries to leave to deal with the aftermath of her divorce, Peter proposes an idea: isolating themselves in his apartment to create their own reality: CANDiLAND. Now cut off from the world, the tormented lovers launch on a dogmatic quest for a higher existence. But their possessive love descends into a surreal savagery as Arnie attempts to reconnect with his son and put an end to CANDiLAND.
