THE STORY

Five scenarios in which people have trouble distinguishing truth from illusions. Each segment reflects the motto of Voltaire's Candide: "Optimism is insisting everything is good, when everything is bad."

Thought-provoking
Melancholic
Bittersweet
Psychological

Pace: Measured
Intensity: Mild
Complexity: Some focus

Good for talking about after and watching alone.
