A satire comedy about a wealthy eccentric, Argan, with delusions of illness. His greed for answers has led to him arranging his daughter, Angelique, to marry a doctor to selfishly fuel this obsession, whilst she pines for her true love. Hilarity ensues as Argan's family and his witty maid attempt to guide him to see reason as he falls further into his hypochondria due to a capitalistic healthcare system feeding his fantasies. Will Argan break away from his wife? Will Angelique end up with her true love? Or will Argan succumb to his hallucinations?
