The Candidate is the first and last piece of a perpetual cycle of unfolding events outside of a character's control. It is a surreal exploration of the family concept in an austere framing. Characters act as family members to fabricate a false reality that is ?to be consumed as real', where absurd circumstances are coupled with dark humour. Here, the strange pathologies of human behaviour are dissected to question the psychological implications of being part of a family. The characters find themselves falling down a symbolic rabbit hole, slowly losing control of events, and culminating in an intoxicated awakening that is a celebration of human affairs and rituals. The story is a metaphor for a failed socio-political and financial system in which the role of the family is to prepare themselves to form part of an absurd and competitive system, with no way out. Each scene represents a collage of contemporary life mixed with myth, history and society.
