Three friends’ effort to contact a missing companion supplies the frame for the anthology.
The stories in The 100 Candles Game: Dark Mirror have consequences for the people telling them. Black Mandala’s synopsis links each tale and extinguished candle to a weakening boundary between the living and the dead. Storytelling is an action within the plot as well as the anthology’s organizing device. Black Mandala’s official synopsis and filmmaker credits.
Three friends gather in an abandoned house to contact Mary, a missing member of their circle. Their reason for beginning the game is therefore specific: they are searching for a person they remember. An old mirror becomes the opening through which another presence may approach.
That frame links the individual tales to a shared location and an escalating problem. The gathering continues while the barrier changes, making the room around the storytellers part of the danger.
Black Mandala credits an ensemble of directors including Charly Goitia, Luciano Onetti, Emma Bell, Carlos Baena, and Rosaicela Enríquez Santillán. Macarena Suárez, Daniela Flombaum, and Valentín Fernández appear in its principal cast listing. Black Mandala’s official synopsis and filmmaker credits.
