The life of Eric Bishop, a football-obsessed postman, is in crisis. His wife has left him, his stepchildren are turning his home into a living hell, and his work at the sorting office is just one problem after another. One day, after smoking cannabis, he is surprised by his idol, the footballer Eric Cantona, who advises him on how to get back on track. Another collaboration between Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty, this award-winning humanist comedy centres on the importance of family, friendship and solidarity.
