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