Professor Henry Higgins, an expert in phonetics, who makes a bold wager with his friend Colonel Pickering. He claims he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl with a thick Cockney accent, into a refined lady capable of passing as a duchess at a high-society event. Over time, Eliza’s remarkable transformation challenges not only societal expectations but also Higgins’ own attitudes toward class and humanity.
