Told in three parts, CANDELA reveals the frantic and fatal few days before a hurricane in Santo Domingo and discloses the layered tragedy of life in the Caribbean. Cloaked in neon lights and the weight of a predetermined future, a woman takes startling action after visiting a renowned nightclub. A police detective, depressed and disillusioned with the corrupt political system, wallows in a lack of confidence and lets both love and justice slip through his fingers. And finally, sultry and poised as a drag performer, but desperate and heartbroken off-stage, a young man tries to atone for his lover’s past mistakes. Examining how the lives of these three apparent strangers intertwine, this visually tantalizing reverie follows the unfolding cause and effect of each character’s actions, leading to a shocking finale. CANDELA will leave you stunned and ponderous as the hurricane finally rolls through. —J.H.
