The Kings

In a modest community centre, tucked away in an unassuming function room, a group of nimble and lively seniors gather every Saturday to sing and pay tribute to their idol, the Western King of Country, Elvis Presley. The Kings thus follows three of the group’s most notorious impersonators, Jega Theesan, Jimmy Lee and Nelson Ooi as they sew their outfits, practice and prepare for their group’s biggest event of the year, the Annual Elvis Death Anniversary. 

With plenty of Presleys on parade, which one of them is the best Elvis? With the group’s average age of 60 years old, ‘The Kings’ is an alternative look into Singapore’s aging society. Using music as a medium of interest, The Kings explores the hopes and fears of these baby-boomers, grown up. What is the next chapter for them? Three different journeys, three different Kings, with one united interest.
