Candide (1994)
A young man brought up by the Huron Indian tribe finds himself in 17th century France, where he accidentally finds relatives of his parents, the Abbot de Kerkabon and his sister. The inhabitants of the small town where he settled and which he saved from the English, strive to "civilize" the savage Indian. He is baptized, after which he falls in love with his godmother and firmly decides to marry her. And then it turns out that civilization is sheer hypocrisy, and in cultured France there is such savagery that the simple-minded Indians could not even dream of. In search of justice, the hero of the film encounters such achievements of civilization as religious intolerance, denunciations and bribery, and almost ends his days in the Bastille, and his beloved, who sacrificed her honor for the sake of saving him, commits suicide.
