Synopsis

Cyrano de Bergerac is a Parisian poet/wit and swashbuckler with a large nose of which he is self-conscious and for which he sometimes claims pride. He falls madly in love with his cousin, the beautiful Roxane, but does not believe she will requite his love because he considers himself physically unattractive. Soon he finds that Roxane had fallen for Christian de Neuvillette, a dashing new recruit to the Cadets of Gascogne, a military unit led by Cyrano himself. He decides to help Christian gain Roxanne's love, and aids him with love letters and verse describing the very emotions that he himself feels for Roxanne, only to find later that Roxanne fell in love with Christian because of his eloquence and extraordinary love for her, and not because of his physical beauty. When Christian dies in battle, Cyrano's love for Roxanne remains unknown to her, until a fateful attempt on his life leaves him on death's door. Only then does he reveal to Roxanne his feelings towards her, and then dies tragically.
