When Derek was a young boy, his father called him Elvis. On his birthday he got a white suit and his hair straightened. In his bedroom, posters of Jimi Hendrix hanged on the walls and Derek was playing cowboy, but in the living room, the music of the King was playing. In the end he could’t take it anymore and the father had to die. Now a young man, Derek calls himself Jimi, wears a wild curly wig and looks for a new father. But when this one also dies, Derek asks the dead man a question that his real father never answered: Why Elvis?
