In 17th-century France, poet Cyrano de Bergerac, famous for his swordsmanship and sharp wit, harbors a secret: he loves Roxane, but her beauty and affections are reserved for the handsome Christian. With a chivalrous heart, Cyrano sets up an innocent deception to bring the couple together, using words that express what he dare not say himself. Through poetic ballads, clever disguises, and daring feats of bravery, Cyrano skillfully weaves a tale of unrequited love, loyalty, and ultimately, tragic sacrifice.
