Candide, a naively optimistic young man, is expelled from a sheltered paradise and embarks on a tumultuous journey around the world. Throughout his travels, he encounters war, shipwrecks, and various disasters that challenge his worldview. The story humorously explores the clash between idealism and harsh reality, ultimately questioning the notion that everything happens for the best.
