Elvis Presley’s Graceland is more than just a museum of musical history; it’s a home. The short film lets viewers follow Riley through her most intimate spaces, opening up a beautiful family heritage and legacy. It shows the jungle room, the pool area, the dining room, and the bedroom of Gladys and Vernon Presley.
Graceland was the place where Elvis fell in love, raised a family, and lived his daily life alongside the people who mattered most to him. Now, viewing it through Riley’s eyes reveals a bond that ties generations together, from Elvis and Linda’s years there to Riley’s present day.

Linda Thompson could not hold in her emotions when she saw those spaces. “This tugs at my heart,” she wrote. Reflecting on the memoir co-written by Riley Keough and her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, Linda calls it “gut-wrenching, exquisite, and such an honest and affectionate tribute to someone [she] loved very much…. Lisa Marie [Presley].”
Linda lived in the Graceland home from 1972 to 1976 alongside Elvis. She also played a significant role in shaping the home’s interior, adding her style to its peacock-stained glass, designing the “P” motif on the entrance, and bringing her touch to the jungle room. The short film highlights the feeling that Graceland was a true home.
