Rostand's classic gets a Hebrew twist — love letters, lies, and one magnificent nose.
Cyrano has it all - a sharp tongue, a grand military career and a big heart of a poet. So why does he feel unworthy of Roxanne's love? Maybe because his nose is as big as his heart. He matches Christian, a young soldier, with the love of his heart, and writes beautiful love letters in his name that capture her heart. But how long can this scam last?
