Discontented with his existence, Faust contemplates magic, summoning a spirit he cannot bear to face, then Mephistopheles appears, offering Faust a chance to experience life's deepest pleasures and darkest corners, thus beginning a journey that questions the price of ambition and the eternal conflict between good and evil as Faust leaves his studies behind and begins exploring the world.
