The film is produced by UK’s Film and Music Entertainment and Albania’s Kkoci Productions, along with Zagreb’s Propeler Films.

The screenplay is by Welsh author Jonathan Preece. US-based actor Nick Shreli will play the title role of Mickey, an Albanian Elvis impersonator. He gets a job entertaining British peacekeeping troops in the 1999 Balkans wars. When backstage problems ensue Mickey (dressed as Elvis Presley) flees straight into the war zone. He is captured by a group of gypsy refugees and to save his skin he lies and tells them he is a United Nations doctor.

The film is being funded by UK and Albanian sources.
