Synopsis

Aqua's "Lollipop (Candyman)" unfolds as a brightly colored sci-fi adventure. René Dif appears as the Candyman, sending an SOS from outer space before being rescued by Lene Nystrøm, Søren Rasted, and Claus Norreen aboard their spacecraft. After landing on an unfamiliar planet, the group encounters strange aliens and is taken captive. Their small robot, C.A.N.D.Y., comes to the rescue, neutralizing the aliens' weapons by transforming them into oversized lollipops. The conflict ends in a typically playful Aqua-style dance celebration.
