An incompetent group of theatre "experts" presents a brief, annotated version of Moliere's Imaginary Invalid, complete with a biographical introduction and exploration of the roots of French Neoclassicism. But as the clock starts ticking down, an attempt to educate the audience becomes a bumbling presentation, leaving everyone wondering if there will be any time left to get to the actual play.
