The Cotton Candiholic

Michael stares at the cotton candy booth, his fingers sticky with pink sugar. He buys his third cone in an hour despite his doctor's month-long sugar ban. Across the street, his ex-wife sits in a café with a new man, and Michael decides: today he'll eat every cotton candy in the city. This 2025 dramedy explores addiction as a metaphor for clinging to the past. The director balances absurd humor with poignant melancholy, showing how small indulgences become overwhelming obsessions. The film examines loneliness in an age of excess, where comfort can be purchased for a few dollars at any fairground.
