Although it is a work from more than 90 years ago, it is far ahead of the present in terms of setting, costume, and atmosphere.

    God and the devil bet on Faust's soul, the devil thinks that Faust cannot resist the temptation of desire, and God believes that the most wonderful thing in the world is that human beings have the freedom to choose good and evil, no matter how fallen, in the human soul. The sacredness of things cannot be eradicated. What this sanctity manifests in Faust is "One Word", "One Word that reverberates all over the world, one word with grief and sorrow, one word that dissolves all human sins, one word that is eternal— -Love."
