During a Paris rebellion, young Louis XIV must be hidden and is secretly replaced at court by a look-alike. Entrusted to the musketeer-poet Cyrano de Bergerac, Louis is sheltered within Madeleine’s traveling theater troupe, where the actor and aspiring playwright Molière has just joined – unaware their newest member is the future king. As Cyrano struggles to handle the arrogant and clumsy young king, he begins writing a bold play for the troupe. Molière, bursting with ideas, transforms the work with wit and heart, awakening his genius for comedy and deepening his secret feelings for Madeleine, while young Louis discovers the joy of theater and the power of friendship. In Paris, intrigue is brewing – can the young king return in time and embrace his true royal destiny?
