In 1658, playwright/actor Moli�re, having been given a theater in the capital by the King, is back in Paris after touring the kingdom of France with his company of players. One day, a young lady asks him to follow her to the deathbed of her mother... Thirteen years earlier, Moli�re already runs a troupe but goes broke and is thrown to prison. Fortunately (?) his debt is covered by Monsieur Jourdain, a rich man who wants him to help him rehearse a one-act play he has written with a view to seducing a beautiful bright young widow, C�lim�ne. As Jourdain is married to Elmire, and is the "respectable" father of two daughters his design must remain secret so Moli�re is introduced into the house as Tartuffe, an austere priest...
