In 17th-century France, playwright and actor Molière (Romain Duris) has his debts paid off by Monsieur Jourdain (Fabrice Luchini), freeing him from debtors’ prison. In return, Jourdain asks for acting lessons so he can win the heart of the beautiful widow Célimène (Ludivine Sagnier) by performing a short play for her. Presented to Jourdain’s family as the priest Tartuffe, Molière begins to fall in love with Monsieur Jourdain’s disregarded wife, Elmire (Laura Morante).
