Subject: ELIZA – 8-Episode Limited Series Pitch

Dear

I’m reaching out to share ELIZA, an eight-episode limited series inspired by true historical events and a critically acclaimed novel. The project blends Iranian and Polish perspectives across two timelines, exploring themes of exile, identity, and family through the lens of Chopin’s music.

During the Iranian Revolution of 1979, piano maker Yosef rescues a two-year-old girl, Eliza, from a burning house in Tehran’s red-light district—where her Polish mother perishes. What was a young Polish woman doing there with her child?

Thirty years later, Eliza embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about her origins. Her search leads her to Poland and her biological family, forcing Yosef to confront whether love means holding on—or letting go.

ELIZA is an eight-episode limited series about survival, exile, and identity that transcends borders and generations. This intimate family saga follows Yosef’s evolution from protective father to supportive partner in Eliza’s search for belonging, while asking what truly defines family in a globalized world.

Addressing adoption, immigration, and intergenerational trauma—told through interwoven timelines in the vein of This Is UsELIZA brings underrepresented Iranian and Polish perspectives to premium television with universal resonance. With its literary foundation and distinctive visual language (including Chopin’s music as a cultural bridge), the project is positioned as a prestige drama with strong award potential.

For complete information—including the pitch deck, series bible, scene illustrations, and the first two episodes—you can also visit http://www.elizafilm.com/extended-pitch.
