Elvis of Nazareth

Rani Massalha

Hamoudy, a 12-year-old beggar of the streets of Nazareth, befriends Khalil, an old singer and a fan of Elvis Presley. Khalil claims that the “King” himself gave him his oud. The child steals him his instrument, and tries to sell the oud. But Hamoudy soon realizes that the oud is worth nothing, and that Khalil is just a dreamer.
