Congolese living in France for some thirty years, Papa Éric le tendre breathes and inspires good humor. From his danceable, swaying gait, to the sound of his stereo playing upbeat music, to his lilting accent heard through lyrics recounting a very personal philosophy and art of living. Paris is a city where most people seem sad and lonely. But Papa Éric is there to give them tenderness and boost their mood. A portrait of this atypical character or a simple quest for happiness?
Directed by Gaston Bonkoungou
