    The lives of a beautiful biker babe and a tall blonde trannie intertwine in this vibrant Rio-set romantic comedy. Elvis is an aspiring young photographer delivering pizzas to make ends meet. Madona's plans for a spectacular drag show have just been dashed when her rotten sometime lover steals all her money.  Elvis and Madona shows the trajectory of these two characters who are chasing their dreams and life’s projects.

    Elvis, born 25 years ago as Elvira, is a beautiful and solitary woman. The rebel daughter of a traditional family from the countryside, Elvis is in Rio to pursue her dream of being a photographer at a big city newspaper. Meanwhile, as her family is poor, Elvis takes a job as a delivery “boy” at the Mozzarella pizzeria.

    Madona, whose real name is Adailton, is 35 years old and her great dream is to produce a theatrical show. To pursue her dream Madona has saved the money she has made from performing in Rio’s nightlife and from many years of work at the famous Diva, a sophisticated hair salon in Copacabana.

    On her first day at work, exactly her first delivery, Elvis is to deliver Madona’s order as Madona is receiving her occasional lover, John Tripod (Sergio Bezerra), who intends to steal the money Madona has saved for the production of her show. Soon after this villain leaves with the stolen money, Elvis arrives at Madona’s home to find her completely desperate. From this unusual encounter, the lives of these two characters intertwine. And from there emerges a curious situation which transforms itself in desire, passion and love.
