PROJECT AT A GLANCE

Keller Edde Studios has negotiated the rights to the book entitled Are You Lonesome Tonight? based on a true

story written by Elvis‟s lover Lucy de Barbin and Dary Marbera that takes place in the southern states of the USA

from 1953 to 1977. The book will be adaptd into a screenplay by an award winning writer and made into a

dramatic motion picture featuring the music of Elvis Presley to be produced, directed and starring talented

filmmakers. The logline for the motion picture is: “The untold story of Elvis Presley‟s one true love-and the child

he never knew”.

Are You Lonesome Tonight? will be distributed to worldwide audiences in all forms of entertainment media

including, but not limited to, theatrical, free and cable television, Home Video and DVD, and digital distribution.

STORY LINE Are You Lonesome Tonight? is a mainstream musical drama with a big heart.

It is said that a great movie always originates from a book or a screenplay which hooks the reader instantly and

keeps his or her interest to such a degree that he cannot put it down until completed. Are You Lonesome

Tonight? is not only a book that meets this criteria but it is also a story that hauntingly stays with the reader. Elvis

Presley was just eighteen when he fell in love with a beautiful 16-year-old French dancer - his first and

only true love. They kept their passion secret from the world for 24 years. Finally Lucy de Barbin broke

her silence and revealed all: the secret meetings, heartbreaking love scenes, tears and tenderness -

and the beautiful daughter that Elvis never knew he had. Controversial and moving, this is the

bittersweet true story that every Elvis fan will cherish forever. A compelling tale of star-crossed love, as

tender and soulful as a song Lucy met Elvis when she was 16 and he was 18. That was the year Elvis

graduated from high school - 1953. She said they were in love and he wanted to marry her, that they

did take their vows in the presence of God. He called her Desiree, which in French means desired one.

According to Lucy, she didn't see how it could work out because she realized that Elvis was headed for

success and would be in the public eye. This was the only man she ever loved and she didn't want her

"dark past" to be revealed because it would hurt his success. She encouraged him to pursue his career

because she knew how much it meant to him. She ran away so he could feel free to meet others and go

on with his life without her.

Elvis searched for Lucy and found her in 1955. He still wanted to marry her. She still couldn't see how

things could work out for them, he was more famous than ever. She ran away again in 1957 - she was

pregnant with her daughter who she named Desiree. She was afraid to tell Elvis about the child,

because he would own her publicly. She was terrified of what the press would do not only to Desiree

but to her other children, also herself and Elvis's career. This was the main reason everything was kept

so secret. Lucy has green eyes and in her book, Elvis said 'if they had a little girl she would be precious

and have green eyes and say really! actually! like Lucy.'

Elvis’s security team knew that the name "Desiree" was on the list of calls that must be accepted for

Elvis at all times. Elvis made arrangements with Lucy to meet him in Washington. Everyone in his

entourage knew he travelled there alone. They had no idea why. After he spent time with Lucy, he took

a plane and went one way and Lucy took a plane and went a different way. He did not go back to

Graceland, he contacted Jerry Schilling and Red West to meet him and he went back to Washington,

this time he met with President Nixon. According to several accounts including Joe Esposito, after

Priscilla went to live at Graceland, Elvis's feelings towards her changed. He did not want to be married

to her. She began asking regularly when will they be married and he kept stalling by saying, when the

time is right he would know. She would then complain to her stepfather, Mr. Beaulieu, who would have

it out with Tom Parker and Elvis's father, Vernon, and they in turn would put pressure on Elvis. This

went on for a while, Elvis refused to be married. Mr. Beaulieu then threatened to sue Elvis. Elvis still

refused to be married. Parker knew the situation was potentially explosive and talked Elvis into getting

married. Parker made all the arrangements and Elvis put up quite a front.

Priscilla, in her movie and television appearances, said that in her seventh month of pregnancy, Elvis

told her he wanted to have a separation. Lucy said that when Priscilla was seven months pregnant,

Elvis contacted her and wanted them to meet. He was very upset and said he wanted to have a

separation from Priscilla. Lucy talked him out of it. She said something like, Priscilla needed him at that

time and leaving at such a time would be bad and could hurt his career.

Lucy and Elvis meet through the years and finally when Lucy was ready to tell Elvis about Desiree, he

dies tragically and never knew about his love child with Lucy.

Lucy always was looking out for the interests of Elvis above her own and so goes the story of true love!!

ATTRIBUTES SUPPORTING SUCCESS

Dramatic motion pictures with music orientation are a proven genre, with a consistent track record of

commercial success. The same holds true of biography films of classic icons such as Elvis Presley. Are

You Lonesome Tonight?, in addition to being a powerful dramatic book about a larger than life

personality, has the following attributes:

1. Are You Lonesome Tonight? is based on a well documented purported true story. Motion

pictures based on true stories such as ―Ray‖, ―Walk The Line‖ and ―Evita‖ continue to intrigue

worldwide movie audiences. Traditionally, these motion pictures enjoy robust financial returns,

providing exciting opportunities to participating investors.

2. The books main characters are Lucy De Barbin and Elvis Presley. Motion pictures that highlight

individual iconic ― larger than life ― personalities such as Elvis have always generated

tremendous levels of audience success. The name Elvis Presley has the same name

recognition throughout the world as Coca Cola.

3. The story’s primary subject matter is the love story between Lucy and Elvis augmented by the

music of Elvis Presley. The love story between them is a controversial subject matter worldwide.

Accordingly, the subject matter of our motion picture will attract a worldwide audience that is both

for and against the truthfulness of the story. Additionally, motion pictures such as ―Mama Mia‖,

―Ray‖ and ―Walk the Line‖ garner box office success and great critical acclaim for bringing music

film entertainment to the public.

PRODUCTION PLAN

The production process and distribution of the completed production are the two primary phases.

Production has four distinct industry-standard phases:

• Development

• Pre-Production

• Production

• Post-Production

DEVELOPMENT

In this first phase, a basic story outline is transformed into a detailed screenplay that fully describes the

characters, situations, and cinematic styling. With that in-hand, the producers then select a director and

obtain commitments from star actors in order to construct what is known as the film’s ―package‖ — a

presentation document that also includes a shooting schedule, preliminary budget, and whatever else

is deemed necessary to obtain support for the vision in order to advance to pre-production.

PRE-PRODUCTION

The preliminary budget is refined into a detailed budget breakdown. The production crew is selected

and secured. The size of the crew is directly proportionate to the size of the budget, varying from as

small as a dozen to hundreds of individuals. There is a special expertise in sizing the crew appropriately

to the goals and ambitiousness of the project while adhering to the realities imposed by the budget.

PRODUCTION

This phase, known as ―principal photography,‖ is the point where the movie is actually shot. Between

shots, the crew prepares equipment, actors rehearse their lines, and the director discusses scenes with

both actors and crew. When shooting is completed, it is traditional to have a ―wrap party‖ since most

crew members will have completed their work at the end of this phase and have no role beyond it.

POST-PRODUCTION

This final phase is the culmination of all the work that preceded it, where all the creative forces come together

through the magic of movie making. This is the point where all the best elements that were captured or created in

the prior phases are combined and refined into what the public will ultimately see, the motion picture that will

grace the silver screen.

Editors digitally splice footage together into a coherent storyline as per the script. Visual effects artists add

animation and computer-generated imagery. Sound engineers add sound effects and vocal recordings. Music

teams add music to drive the dramatic or comedic aspects of every scene. The finished product is called the

“final master.” It will be the source material from which all copies of the movie, in its various formats, will be

generated.

THE DISTRIBUTION PLAN

Once the PRODUCTION process is over, a film generates revenues by capitalizing on the intellectual

property rights of the production by means of DISTRIBUTION. Whereas the budget for the production is

predetermined and generally an upfront expenditure, the returns generated through distribution efforts

are essentially unlimited — potentially lasting many years to follow.

There is a special expertise in extracting the highest returns and maximizing the film’s value in the

worldwide marketplace. The three key parameters used to drive that value are:

1. Windows

2. License Terms

3. Runs

WINDOWS

A window refers to a period of time during which a film’s intellectual property rights are available to be

exploited in a given channel of outlet. In a standard motion picture release plan, each window is

exploited in a specific order, generally with those that offer the highest anticipated revenues going first.

Some studios have used so-called ―Alternative Release‖ schedules that deploy in a different order,

which has shown effective in certain cases. The standard domestic distribution windows and flow of

revenue is usually based on the following schedule of release. International distribution usually has a

similar flow of releases:

THEATRICAL

The first and foremost market for motion pictures is the release in movie theatres and multiplexes

worldwide.

AIRLANES/ HOTELS/ CRUISE SHIPS

Between 30 to 60 days after theatrical release, for viewing on specialized travel and tourism in-flight/in-

room entertainment networks.

HOME VIDEO/ BLU-RAY/ DVD

Between 90 days and 6 months following theatrical release, on physical media for sale or rental to

consumers for private viewing.

VOD/ PAY-PER-VIEW/ ELECTRONIC SELL-THRU

Between 30 and 90 days following release to home video, the movie can be exploited on subscription

based networks and over cable systems for a fee on a per-viewing basis.

PAY CABLE & SATELLITE

Between 90 days and 6 months after VOD release, the film can be exploited as part of a paid

subscription to pay TV channels like HBO, Showtime, and CINEMAX broadcasted through closed cable

television systems and digital satellite.

BASIC CABLE & SATELLITE

Between 6 to 12 months after the Pay Cable & Satellite window, the film can then be exploited on

channels such as USA Network, TNT, SyFy (formerly SciFi), SPIKE, and others that are part of the

same service providers’ basic lineup.

NETWORK TELEVISION

Between 6 to 12 months after the Basic Cable & Satellite window, the film can then be exploited on a

major terrestrial television network such as NBC, CBS, or FOX for one or more broadcasts.

SYNDICATED TELEVISION

Within 24 months after Network Television release, the film can be exploited into syndication on a

market-by-market basis to individual television stations and affiliates throughout the country for a

specific number of broadcasts of the motion picture over a period of time.

INTERNET

The web, social networks, virtual worlds, and handheld devices capable of downloading, streaming, and

displaying high quality video converge to open up new revenue model possibilities.

ANCILLARIES

The right to distribute the music and soundtrack from the motion picture both in physical and digital

form is an ancillary window as is the right to manufacture and sell commercial items derived from

elements of the motion pictures like t-shirts, toys, and tie-in Promotional goods.

LICENSED TERM

This is the defined span of actual time within the limitations of a given rights window that a distributor,

sub-distributor, exhibitor, or other licensee is authorized and permitted to exploit the intellectual property

rights of the film. Modulating the licensed term is an extremely effective means of maximizing the

revenue of the entertainment property both initially and even more so over time.

The key is to induce buyers into licensing and re-licensing the same window on the same property

multiple times. Such cycles of licensing and re-licensing last an average of 7 to 10 years; sometimes

lasting longer based on a number of deal enhancements like upfront fees, commitments to multiple

windows at once, and so on. Put simply, our aim is to make as much money on the property for as long

a period of time as possible.

RUNS

A ―run‖ refers to the continuous exhibition of a motion picture in a defined geographic area for a

specified period of time. The so-called ―first run‖ is the first exhibition in that area, the ―second run‖ is

the next subsequent, and so on. ―Runs‖ refers to how many times the film is exhibited in a specific

territory during which t h e r i g h t s w i n d o w a n d licensed term allow it. ―Airings‖ is the equivalent

term used when referring to television rights.

Risk Analysis

RISK-RATIO RESULT

Even though Keller Edde Studios will face the standard business risks associated with the

entertainment industry, the possibility that the motion picture will be successful outweighs these risks.

IMPLEMENTATION FEASIBILITY

Although Keller Edde Studios believes that they have identified a feasible opportunity, the entertainment

industry is increasingly crowded and competitive. The following SWOT analysis was created to evaluate

Are you Lonesome Tonight?’s implementation feasibility.

STRENGTHS

• Based on a true story

• Successful production company

WEAKNESSES

• Awareness of story

• Tragic ending

OPPORTUNITY

• Distribution opportunities

• Rising demand and increasing popularity for new original films

• Original film.

THREATS

• Movie industry is crowded – large media companies dominate the film marketplace

• Retailers and Promotional Partners are risk adverse prefer to focus on mega well-know licensing

brands

• Subject matter is Hot…Need to act now.

• Changes in the economy which may impact consumer spending patterns on entertainment

CONCLUSION

Theatrical movies are the heart and soul of the entertainment industry and they are thriving in 2011.

With Are You Lonesome Tonight?, Keller Edde Studios with the association of Sony Music is

poised to deliver a box office success and a classic award winning musical motion picture which will

be enjoyed by audiences throughout the world for years to come.

It should be noted that the projections herein have not taken into account the additional worldwide

revenues that will be generated from a soundtrack album that will be released concurrently with the

motion picture Are You Lonesome Tonight?

Lucy & Elvis - Are you lonesome tonight? Book – Base Story for “In My Shoes”.

A French immigrant family living in Monroe, Louisiana faces the death of its patriarch as

a victim of the tuberculosis epidemic in the late 1930‟s. At the death moment, the man is

having his three-year-old daughter, LUCY, sitting on his lap, singing beautifully for him.

She doesn‟t understand what is happening, as he coughs and dies.

The next morning, her father‟s family intentionally burns the house; with Lucy‟s father‟s

body still inside. She is left homeless, with her mother and siblings.

Taking charge of the situation, her paternal grandmother, decides to send her

grandchildren to live with uncles and aunts, scattered throughout the country, keeping

their mother / daughter in law, with her to work as a maid. This way, Lucy is sent to

Boston, where she lives with two aunts, who support her love for music hiding family

separation pain.

By the late 1940‟s, eleven-year old Lucy has developed her talent as a singer and dancer.

Her grandmother sends for her to come back to Monroe for a special family reunion at

her house, where she is to see her mother as well after almost 8 years.

At the party, Lucy‟s grandmother asks her to sing for the guests. She does so, and

captivates everyone, specially her male audience.

The following day, the real purpose of her trip is revealed, when her grandmother

announces her that she is to be married to a forty-five year old Irish man who lives far

away from Monroe. As a result of this, her mother is to be released from her duties as a

maid to the grandmother, and put to live in a new home without having to work never

again. The naïve sense of obligation to “save her mother” takes Lucy through an illogical

religious ceremony, where she becomes this man‟s child-wife.

“THE MAN”, takes her to live in a house in Monroe, Louisiana, with a housekeeper

named Mrs. Fowler to have Lucy under control through his long absences.

A violent relationship begins in the very first night when he rapes the girl for the 1st time.

Therefore, every month The Man will return for a weekend to get drunk and force

himself on Lucy repeatedly not only sexually, but also beating her up to the extreme of

needing medical assistance. Then he leaves town then for several weeks.

By the time Lucy is fourteen years old, she is giving birth to her second child from the

rapes of this monstrous relationship. During her pregnancies, she spends long months

locked away to hide, from schoolmates and neighbors. In this solace, she seeks support in

her prayers.

Cleverly, she convinces her housekeeper to allow her to visit friends from time to time.

This way she has the opportunity to put her talents to test and lands a performing job on a

local TV show. The most of the small income she makes goes directly to buy the

housekeeper‟s complicity and convinces her to secretly baby seat her girls while she is

working.

In the early 1950‟s, during her sweet sixteenth year, and in the midst of the usual violent

visits from her husband, Lucy is invited to an event at the Monroe governor‟s house,

where something outstanding happens.

She meets a seven-teen year old singer named ELVIS with whom mutual attraction in

instantaneous. Somehow soon after, destiny puts them to meet again in Memphis, giving

start to a romantic relationship. One, that she knows, will never prosper.

She is married and almost ashamed of being a mother at such a young age and of course, she hides this from Elvis.

She tries by all means to stay away from him and keep him off her mind, but the young

lover is not willing to give her up, and she ends falling deeply in love.

Feeling the magic of love Lucy gives him a nickname. “El Lancelot” (Elvis – Sir

Lancelot) as her enchanted prince.

Elvis still feels that she hides something and senses her elusive attitude, but cannot get a

final word from her.

As his career begins to find some echo as a local singer he promises to dedicate his

romantic songs to her through the local radio stations, and insists on Lucy having a

serious commitment to him.

Feeling in-love for the first time in life, Lucy lives memorable moments with him and

changes her ideas about “men being monsters”. She decides to go away with him for a

while, and they chose a countryside place to make vows of marriage and start meeting

motels where to spend time together in secret.

Elvis starts to call her at her job Silverstein‟s Store, and visits her often.

Following Elvis‟ admiration for Marlon Brando, they watch together his movie called

“Desiree” that inspires Elvis to nickname Lucy with that name.

Interlaced with their secret encounters, Lucy gets raped again and again by The Man, to

the extreme of needing surgery. A matter that turns especially dangerous when

discovering her third pregnancy.

This puts Lucy away, abruptly disappearing from Elvis‟ life. She tries goring to attorneys

and even priests to find some help but she gets “morally” rejected. As her doctor offers to

be a witness on her behalf, she finds some help and The Man disappears, leaving her no

more financial support.

Throughout the following 9 months, Elvis insists on seeing her. He calls her at work and

sends letters, but she rejects every attempt and comforts herself with seeing him on the

TV news, where new songs are being shown.

A few months after giving birth, the Elvis finds her and tries to woe her again.

While his popularity expands on a national level together with those songs sang to Lucy,

his Desiree, he tries to ask her to escape with him.

Lucy‟s life is being far from being happy. Her husband has found out about her job as a

dancer on TV and brutally beats her. As in the meantime Elvis insists with seeing her,

Lucy decides to tell Elvis the truth. Married with an abuser that gave her 3 kids…

The discovery upsets Elvis and sets him up to go after The Man. Afraid of her

experience; Lucy stops him for his own safety. She simply prefers to keep her treasure

hidden, for no one to interfere in between them.

As Elvis‟ career keeps escalating and he travels extensively, he pays for plane tickets for

Lucy to go and visit when being on tour. The most of the times she flights just for a night,

and always in extreme secret. He always insists on her to stay with him, leaving the man

behind, but she never accepts.

This way, they spend moments of extreme romance, where they get to forget reality and,

at least for one night, detach from the real world‟s limitations when sinking into their

passion.

Along their secret relation, Elvis records new songs meant just for Lucy as "Heartbreak

Hotel", "Don't be Cruel" & "Hound Dog” and he shows her secret signals and gestures

that he would do while performing on TV, for Lucy to know that she is in his mind.

Tired of suffering, Lucy finally finds support in the law enforcement to keep The Man

restrained from reaching her and the girls and moves to a new house.

With some more freedom, Lucy starts to visit Elvis in Memphis and several other places.

Their romance grows and Elvis tries to fill her up with presents that she most likely

rejects, as she only wants his love… Even Elvis insists in moving her in with him, she explains that she must end with a few

legal matters before committing that much. She also asks Elvis to consider that a sudden

presence of 3 kids in his life from a divorced young mother may easily spoil his career.

Putting away concerns, their secret relation gets deeper, losing some control of their

sexual precautions…

Towards the end of the 1950‟s, The Man learns about Lucy‟s romance with the singer

and goes back against her, bursting into Lucy‟s house and trying to strangle her in front

of their daughters, also threatening to cut her with a knife and kill Elvis if she goes back

to him.

After The Man leaves the house Lucy goes once more to the doctor to take care of her

injuries and they discover that she is pregnant again. Number 4.

This time, it is not possible to come from The Man. The father could only be one person:

Elvis.

Elvis tells Lucy his relation with Colonel Parker press strategies asking him to appear in

magazines with Hollywood people.

He also tells about the Colonel project of enrolling Elvis in the Army to go to War… and

she doesn‟t dare to tell about the baby.

Lucy‟s doubts, and struggles turn bigger and bigger. She has turned him down many

times and sees Elvis‟ popularity grow even more. Through the news she sees him falling

into romances with beautiful women and getting “away” from her. All this, triggers

Lucy„s decision to escape from everything and everyone.

She loads the car with a few possessions and her children and drives towards Colorado,

looking for help from a sister. On their way, a snow blizzard cuts their way crashing

outside the road and destroying the car. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, a good man

helps the pregnant woman with three girls, but all her possessions and identifications are

lost in the accident. They are taken for dead and the news reach Louisiana. Lucy feels

protected by the confusion and finds refugee in the Colorado Mountains. She moves in to

a sister‟s vacation cabin to spend her pregnancy while home schooling her daughters.

In the meantime of her long stay, she gets news of her mother suffering a heart attack in

Alexandria, Louisiana, and she decides to go to look after her. As her mom heals, Lucy

gives birth to her fourth daughter and names her after the supposed father‟s favorite

name: Desiree. Desiree Presley. She writes Elvis a letter, but he ends keeping it foe

herself as the news about Elvis only saddens her life as their lives are separated forever.

Lucy settles in Alexandria and lands a job. Knowing that Elvis went away to war, she

learns that he comes back with a new relationship with a girl who is soon announced as

his future wife. This depresses Lucy who is frequently confused by Elvis‟ public

appearances, as she can still see those secret signals he coordinated with her in the past.

In the meantime of her adaptation to the new town and lifestyle, The Man shows up

helped by some relatives. He wants her back, playing the good man… but of course she

only feels unstoppable rejection for such a beast and has no more obligations to him.

Trying to forget everything she meets new people, and even calls her daughter Desiree

for her second name, Romaine.

She finds a new full time job and her boss and owner of the company, Jack, gets very

attracted to her and proposes to marry. She declines.

By a lucky coincidence she meets a gentleman named John who‟s very connected in

show business. They grow a special friendship and Lucy tells him her secret story with

Elvis, for the first and only time ever. Moved by the story, John insists on helping her to

contact the singer, but she feels that it would be the worst mistake…

She devotes to forget Elvis and to escape loneliness, she decides to accept to marry her

boss Jack. He is very kind to her and invests in setting up her own business. Chasing

success they move to Dallas, where they have to two children, 6 for her altogether.

Lucy can‟t avoid sadness when seeing Elvis on TV with his wife, especially because she

always sees those “signals” from him when he goes live on TV or in films, but Life for

her seems finally in peace for her and she surrounds herself with the love of her kids.

As life moves on, Lucy‟s mom passes away asking for a special request before her

departure: To tell Desiree about her father. Lucy would like to do so, but she has no

strength to do it without him in the loop. She still misses him.

After Jack‟s business failure, life gets a little sad and empty. She finds a new job and asks

Jack for divorce, but that goes nowhere…

Life keeps turning boring until one day she receives 14 Roses at her job with a note “True

Love Never Dies”, curiously, 14 years after meeting Elvis for the first time.

Very soon after, in a silent night Lucy‟s home phone rings, and she shivers as she hears

on the other end of the line… a unique and special voice. It is Elvis‟ voice.

Jack‟s presence makes her to miss lead him, asking the caller to nest day, as he would be a client…

Next day, he calls right on time.

He sounds relived and excited about “finally” finding her. Elvis tells that he has been

after her since coming back from Germany asking for her in Monroe and everywhere else

possible. Even he was told that she was dead, he never believed that and kept recording

songs about his broken heart, for her to see the signals when performing on TV and

encourage her to contact him… ("Are You Lonesome Tonight?," "Return to Sender," and

"Kentucky Rain." "You're a Heartbreaker," "My Baby Left Me" "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and

cry" "Trying to Get to You," "That's When Your I heartaches Begin," "I Beg of You," "A Mess of

Blues," "Lonely Man," "They Remind Me Too Much of You," "It Hurts Me," "Always on My

Mind," "She is not you" "They Remind Me Too Much of You.")

Both thrilled, Lucy and Elvis make plans and meet once again to start a new chapter of

this clandestine relation, that restart in the Beverly Hills Hotel, far from those old country

side motels…

She finds a new Elvis. An Elvis, who has changed physically and has given in to the

excesses of a rock and roll lifestyle, but still a spiritual man. An Elvis that shows to still

be in love with Lucy, asking her once again to go away with him.

Lucy senses that he asks for this out of love, but also out of need. Elvis seems starving for emotional help, to get out of his altered life, full of excesses and bad company that comes

with his luxurious life… a side of him that never let in, staying away of money or

superficial interests, for only to spend time together, in secret.

Lucy is now a comfortably married woman, with children who need her and whom she

would never leave behind. Elvis has also his own life and family now, but he assures that

he has never loved anyone else but Lucy, and that he is ready to leave his wife to make is

dream com true.

Elvis calls her often to her house using the name John Jones.

Lucy starts travelling every time he asks her to come to visit him on his tours, always for

one night to love him secretly, but soon she understands that a life next to him would be

impossible.

Success is taking a high toll on Elvis. He is surrounded by abuses of all kinds that are

shadowing his reason, and his inner circle seems to be after one thing only: making

money off of him.

Elvis‟ isolation takes him to reach out to Lucy even more, but her situation is getting

difficult. Her marriage is becoming unstable and hiding the affair turns harder and harder.

In the meantime, older Desiree starts to notice that she looks very different from her

siblings and suspects that her mother is hiding her father‟s real identity.

Elvis‟s decides to divorce, and his wife ruins him financially. He gets forced to give

weekly and even daily concerts to pay for debts, also keeping those around him with

luxurious salaries and lifestyle. His people push him into vice, making him look

disheveled, consumed and abandoned.

He feels there‟s only one chance for salvation: Lucy‟s arms.

As she keeps rejecting the idea, he explodes in rage and tells how frustrating has it been

to spend so many years feeling rejected by her.

Finally they explain each other‟s reasons for their behaviors and discuss a new plan.

Lucy starts making bigger plans to get divorced from Jack, but Elvis news shows him

with girls and craziness all around him… He goes to her for love and care over and over, asking her not to trust on the news, but

she begins to lose confidence on him as she repeatedly sees his relapses on the news.

She discovers her drugs consumption and threats to stay away from him for good if he

doesn‟t clean up. But he gets worst.

Lucy goes to see him in Washington and then live in Las Vegas, but she doesn‟t like the

way he looks. Her sadness gets deep in her heart, together with deception.

Elvis calls become a little hard in mood, blaming Lucy for insisting in escaping from him

after so many years of frustration…

They meet in Washington and Elvis tries to explain about her problems

His manager pushes him to work to pay his wife‟s claims and his obligations with his

huge team.

The team surrounds him with ladies for publicity, but they really work as nurses for him.

The Drugs his is having is to keep up his daily concerts that are being too many…

He asks Lucy to avoid paying attention the news about him… He also tells that he plans

to become an under covered narcotics division agent… and he is finally about to

announce his divorce. He only wants to be with Lucy.

Back and forth in her heart, Lucy understands that he is sick but really in love with her

and feels sad for giving so much pain. She also starts getting worried about Elvis‟ health

as he cancels shows… and his whole world trembles.

Lucy‟s word it isn‟t safe either.

Desiree stumbles upon a few mysterious messages about her father‟s identity and she

feels deceived by her mother. She escapes to Los Angeles with a friend and Lucy needs

to go after them in the midst of her marital crisis, started by Elvis‟ reunion.

When Lucy finds Desiree, to her shock she realizes that her daughter already knows the

truth and she have started to use her real name: Desire Presley.

Lucy keeps visiting him whenever she can, and he shows that he is taking several

measures, as paying his ex wife obligations and firing his manager… but is looking miss

cared and his entourage still stinks.

Always hoping to get things better, they meet in Memphis in “their” countryside place

where they made their marriage vows and make new plans together, including writing a

book.

While Elvis is being treated again for his prescription drugs abuse, but keeps connected

to Lucy, she makes peace with Desiree and convinces her to go back home.

On a strange afternoon, Desiree gets involved in a serious car accident on her way to

performing at a local dance competition, on the same afternoon that Elvis collapses on

stage while performing live in front of thousands of people.

His situation becomes a matter of national scrutiny, discussed daily on Radio, TV shows

and newspapers. As Elvis struggles to heal and starts getting better, he goes to Lucy once

again. She is his only love, and his only hope to part far away from his reality.

Beyond scandals and news, Lucy still cares. She still loves him and she knows how much

he loves her. She also knows that her beloved Desiree, the child she loves most, she came

from the only real love she ever knew: Elvis.

Judging by the ages of her children and husband, Lucy feels that now is time for them to

embrace her absence to let Elvis‟s plead sink in her heart and mind.

She decides to give in going to him, but she rules that the dream of being together would

only be possible if he rests and ends with the madness of his artistic world.

He tells her about some commitments and last scheduled performances he has to go

through, before quitting and dedicate his whole life to her, only a few weeks later.

Taking this promise for real, they talk about personal details, and Elvis asks for her

children. Desiree‟s accident comes up by mistake. Surprised by the name, he calculates

her age and gets excited about meeting her… Before their farewell Elvis asks her to go

with him on this last tour. When she declines, he teases with the chance of being “her last

opportunity to see him”…

Lucy puts together a plan to give the news to her family, starting with her husband.

On the chosen day, she feels unusually dizzy and faints, making her go home for some

rest. As arriving she feels the house particularly cold. The phone rings, with Desiree in

the line with terrible news: Elvis is dead.

The only person in the world, who could ever be happy about this death, lives in her own

house: Her husband. He cynically smiles at the news saying to her: “Finally”.

Lucy bursts in rage and runs out of the house yelling, “Leave me alone!”

She runs out to nowhere in a sea of tears. She comes back to take her car to drive to the

airport looking for a flight to Memphis. She needs to get to Graceland, the place they

were supposed start a new life together in a few weeks, and now the place where Elvis‟

lies dead.

When she gets there, she finds thousands of fans outside the gates paying tribute to the

one they call The King of Rock and Roll. And after so many years in secret, Lucy can

only find herself as another anonymous fan. For what she cries defeated by grief.

A grief no one could understand. A grief, which‟s reasons, no one would believe…

With even stopping she asks the taxi to go back to the airport.

A day after, just back from Memphis, she receives a Talisman Rose, with a note.

“All my love, till I return. El Lancelot.”
