It is the most difficult thing to obtain yet the most facile thing to lose. It is trust alone that has the power to make or break a relationship. Also, it is trust that is hard to give but extremely desirable to everyone. It means more than simply believing something a person says.

Though Cyrano offered to composer beautiful love letters for Christian to send to Roxane, Christian was too naïve to see that Cyrano himself was in love with her. This complicated trust Christian had in Cyrano led them both into a whirlwind of difficulties when Christian tries to force Roxane to choose either himself of Cyrano. Predicaments are started mainly by two things- trust and faith....
