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.

Looking for Eric

I believe the past should stay the past. Looking for a lost love is a fantasy because that person will not be the same person now that you left behind years ago.

you need to let it go, there are much more better things to do in life.

Is it too late to rekindle...

Unless you did something so irrevocable, I never think it is too late. It is always timing too. I was in love with someone that loved me very much too. But! He had a sick wife whom was battling with multiple sclerosis tragically. He was prepared to leave her for our love. But! I could not allow it to happen, deeming karma would be a you know what! If he came back restored, redeemed and single I would totally entertain the rekindling of our love. We had something better than chemistry.
