A concept design set in a long forgotten Milk bar in modern Australia. The diverse characters/customers that visit Candide have the audience wonder why this young man has such a dated perspective on the world ? It exposes the recklessness of a ‘no worries’ optimistic Australian attitude that prevents Australia from defining a progressive future for itself.
