Looking for Eric is a 2009 film directed by Ken Loach and tells the story of Eric, a middle-aged postman and a big Manchester United fan, with a complicated family situation and dealing with depression. One day, after drinking too much, Eric started meeting an imaginary Éric Cantona, his idol, who will help his namesake with psycological advices, and will help him to face a difficult situation involving his son.
