Here is the plot description for “Looking for Eric”:
Eric, the postman, is slipping through his own fingers. His chaotic family, his wild stepsons and the cement mixer in the front garden don’t help, but it is Eric’s own secret that drives him to the brink. Can he face Lily: the woman he once loved 30 years ago? Despite outrageous efforts and misplaced goodwill from his football fan mates, Eric continues to sink.
In desperate times, it takes a spliff and a special friend from foreign parts to challenge a lost postman to make that journey into the most perilous territory of all: the past. As the Chinese and one Frenchman say: “He who is afraid to throw the dice will never throw a six.”
The trailer for “Looking for Eric” can be watched now below.

It’s never too late if it
It’s never too late if it was meant to be!
Love Is Forever!
It is never too late to LOVE!!
Love Never Dies
Someone somewhere is made for you…..once found don’t let go!!
Oh yeah...
You definitely know when the ship has sailed and no amount of wailing and/or flailing of limbs desperately will help. When it’s over, it’s over.
Nope.
never.
Just don’t over do it. ;)
Lost Love
I’d like to believe it’s never too late.
Is It Never Too Late to Rekindle With A Long Lost Love?
Love is NEVER LOST if it is TRUE LOVE, so it is NEVER TOO LATE and LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE UNHAPPY SEARCHING FOR A LOST LOVE!!
Long lost love
It depends on where you are in your life and who are involved in your life.
Looking for Eric
Never too late.
Nope.
Hell naw.
