The eloquent, deeply poetic Cyrano de Bergerac adores his lovely cousin Roxanne, but fears that his ugliness will prevent her from ever returning his feelings. So he uses the handsome but inarticulate Christian as a conduit for his emotions, pouring his heart out in letters signed with Christian's name. Wooed by the beauty of the words, Roxanne falls in love with the man she believes wrote the missives -- never realizing that is Cyrano whose voice has aroused her passion.
