“Elvis of Nazareth” tells the story of Hamoudy, a young beggar in Nazareth, who befriends Khalil, an elderly street singer and Elvis Presley enthusiast. Khalil claims his oud was a gift from Elvis. Hamoudy initially tries to exploit this by stealing the oud and attempting to sell it, but he realizes it’s worthless and that Khalil is a dreamer. Disheartened, Hamoudy returns the oud and, after Khalil sings, becomes captivated by the myth of Elvis.
