Based on a play of the same name written by Edmond Rostand in 1897, the love story of Cyrano has grown in popularity across the world, being adapted into films, a drama, a novel, and finally to a musical in 2009. The story is set in mid-17th century Paris and follows Cyrano de Bergerac, a nobleman who is the leader of the Cadets de Gascogne. He is a gifted duelist, a poet and a storyteller. But, ashamed of his extremely large nose, he is unable to express his love for Roxane. Christian, despite his good looks, cannot speak well in front of women. For Christian, Cyrano becomes his mouth and pen, writing love letters to Roxane. Cyrano becomes the bridge of love between Roxane and Christian. Meanwhile, Roxane falls for handsome new cadet Christian, and asks Cyrano to befriend and protect him. Unable to tell Roxane of his true feelings for her, Cyrano agrees to do so.
