A con man cosplays as holiness and this family eats it up. Divine comedy, literally.
Orgon is living the good life. He has status, money and a loving family. But he felt that the soul needed a spiritual boost that would give his life meaning. He brings Tartuffe into his home, a man filled with faith and principles that Orgon sees as half God. From that moment on, the family goes into complete turmoil, and no one is able to open Orgon's eyes to the fact that he might be a fraud.
