Story
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.
