Fallen Candle

What happens when a lit candle falls? Does it flicker and plunge into darkness? Or does its flame erupt into angry flames, licking and obliterating everything inits path?

Fondly know as Khandlela Likayise, her father’s shinning candle, Emhile is rudely induced into adulthood by the economical mayhem of Zikmbabwe in 2008. Her whole world as she knows it comes crashing down.

Lonely and emotionally scarred, she seeks her freedom from her pain. She gets a chance to escape her torturous marriage, but tradition has other plans for her. Left with no choice, Emihle takes a leap of faith and turns her back on the only home she knows.

What awaits her in an unknown land? Rediscovery or more loss? More heartache or healing? Peace or a more deep feeling of not belonging?

As she finds herself again, Emihle yearns to reignite the flame that used to burn within her. She seeks to be Ikandlela Likayise again.
