Their Heaven on Earth eventually becomes uncontrollable and is further entombed by Candy's parents deciding to pull away from the couple after realising that heroin has taken over there lives.

In the closing Hell segment the marriage deteriorates along with Candy's impressionable mental state, and Dan has to make the difficult choice between rescuing her, or removing himself from the relationship altogether in the hope that the separation will allow her to break free of the addiction.

Synopsis Candy (Abbie Cornish), gorgeous, sexy, free spirited, meets the roguish, reckless Dan (Heath Ledger). The two souls fall so deeply in love that nothing can come between them. They are financially broke; yet survive on the light they see in each other. Even the heroin they so casually flirt with is no more than an extension of the intoxicating world they inhabit.. Their own belief in an invincible future spurs them ever onwards and envelops them in a blissful cocoon. As their commitment to the addiction grows, they renew their bond through marriage and pregnancy. As long as they stay together, nothing can go wrong. But as they cross uncrossable boundaries and succumb to the tyranny of what they cannot control, their paradise comes under threat. Candy´s parents, weary of watching their daughter slide into something they do not understand, all but give up on her. And even Casper (Geoffrey Rush), Dan´s mentor and friend, complicit in their exploration of the habit, can not deny that their devotion to the drug that binds them all, is now inseparably intertwined with the commitment they share. Whilst the marriage inevitably deteriorates, so too, does Candy´s mind. As she drifts to the edge of insanity Dan makes a last attempt to rescue their relationship but through the clarity of separation he realizes that if he truly loves her, the best thing for Candy and for both of them is for him to let her go.. Sinopsis Candy crea un intrépido retrato de una joven artista cuya ansia de vida la lleva al extremo de la cordura. Dan es poeta perdido y enamorado de Candy. Ellos encuentran en la heroína un camino de placer ilimitado. Pero cuando la adicción domina, pierden lo que habían encontrado. Candy abre la puerta a una visión de ensueño que tendrá significado para aquellos que se han sentido deslumbrados por la belleza del mundo..
