Synopsis
The 1960s. A small village. A quiet local inn.
Everything seems perfectly normal until a telegram arrives.
Within hours, an unbelievable rumour spreads through the village: Elvis Presley himself is coming to visit the "False Hare" Inn!
Suddenly, nothing is normal anymore. Hair is styled, shirts are ironed, the inn is polished from top to bottom and everyone is determined to make a good impression on the King of Rock'n'Roll.
There is just one small problem:
Nobody actually knows whether Elvis is coming.
As rumours grow, misunderstandings multiply and the excitement reaches fever pitch, even two American Military Police officers become involved. What began as a simple message quickly turns into a whirlwind of gossip, confusion and hilariously over-the-top preparations.
A fast-paced comedy filled with colourful characters, Rock'n'Roll spirit and plenty of surprises, proving that sometimes a single rumour is all it takes to turn an entire village upside down.
