Plot – London, first years of XXI century. Professor Higgins bets with a friend he’s able to change a florist's behaviour into the one of a lady. He will win the bet and he will find love as well. The film is inspired to the play "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw and from the musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederik Loewe. It’s a perfect mix of Irish sharp humor, the echo of the success of the theatrical version and the presence of a refined director who has worked with high-class performers.

“I don't want no gold and no diamonds! I'm a good girl, I am!”
“The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated.”
“I'm one of the underserving poor, that's what I am. Now, think what that means to a man. It means he's up against middle-class morality for all the time. If there's anything going, and I put in for a bit of it, it's always the same story: you're undeserving, so you can't have it.”
“There even are places where English completely disappears; in America they haven't used it for years.”
“Why can't a woman be more like a man?”
“I find that the moment a woman makes friends with me she becomes jealous, exacting, suspicious, and a damn nuisance. And I find that the moment I make friends with a woman I become selfish and tyrannical. So here I am, a confirmed old bachelor and likely to remain so.”
“- Professor Henry Higgins: You mean to say you'd sell your daughter for fifty pounds?
- Colonel Hugh Pickering: Have you no morals, man?
- Alfred P. Doolittle: Nah. Nah, can't afford 'em, guv'nor. Neither could you, if you was as poor as me.”“I can do without anyone. I have my own soul! My own spark of divine fire!”
“You're not bad-looking; you're really quite a pleasure to look at sometimes. Not now, of course, when you've been crying, you look like the very devil; but when you're all right, and quite yourself, you're what I would call... attractive.”
