ERIC & RAYMONE (100 mins,
UK) is a comedy drama about hero worship, hope,
loss and about breaking down social barriers.
Eric is an out-of-control 8-year old boy whose mother has recently passed
away from cancer. Eric and his father, George, are both trying to cope with
the loss, but are doing so in very different ways. Eric feels alienated by
the entire world and hates everyone including his friends and his father. In
a further twist, Eric gets involved in petty crime.
Eric's father has to find a way to control his son in order to avoid that he
is taken into care by social services. So George seeks advice from a child
psychologist who advises him that he must find someone who can reach out to
Eric and connect with him, to bring him back from the emotional brink he's
on.
It seems an almost impossible task since there isn't anyone Eric doesn't
hate. Then it dawns on George that Eric idolises Raymone, a faded rock star
from decades ago. So, he sets about tracking down Raymone, who turns out to
be an alcoholic and penniless wreck living in a caravan on a farm.
George is a wealthy businessman and makes him an offer he can't refuse. For
a considerable sum of money, Raymone is hired to be Eric's friend for a
while.
At first Raymone considers himself a reluctant babysitter, but as Eric and
Raymone's relationship develops, Raymone becomes attached to the boy.
From the outset, Raymone is of course Eric's hero and he has many illusions
about the glamourous lifestyle of his idol, having little knowledge of how
fame and fortune comes and goes. More comedy ensues as Raymone is doing his
best not to disappoint his only fan.
In the end, the father-and-son relationship becomes more important to
Raymone than it is for Eric, since it gives Raymone meaning in life,
something which has been missing for so many years. More at
