December 1897, Paris. Edmond Rostand is not yet thirty years old and has not written anything for two years. In desperation, he offers the great Constant Coquelin a new play, a heroic comedy, in verse, for the holidays. The only concern: it is not written yet.

Ignoring the whims of the actresses, the demands of its producers, the jealousy of his wife, the love stories of his best friend and the lack of enthusiasm of all his entourage, Edmond begins to write this work, of which he has only the title: Cyrano de Bergerac.
