An amusing and unique heterosexual love story between a ->-bleeped-<- and a lesbian set in Brazil's colorful, strip club-lined Rio neighborhood of Copacabana

Elvis & Madona (Elvis e Madona) is both the first feature length and fictional film from by Brazilian documentary filmmaker Marcelo Laffitte. Laffitte, who also wrote the film, was inspired by a TV show he caught in Miami, Florida. While channel surfing, he was drawn to a fight scene between a young man and an older woman. The woman, who turned out to be a ->-bleeped-<- and the man's father, had stolen his son's wife.
