Ricky de Sire

Since the 80s, Ricky de Sire (Eric de Boer) has been releasing singles and records on a regular basis and in collaboration with various musicians. However, he has not yet succeeded in reaching a large audience, despite his boundless dedication and commitment. In the documentary Overal Tegenin, Eric looks back on his career and looks to the future. We see how, despite all the setbacks and the lack of recognition, he still hopes for a breakthrough. In addition, we see a musician and artist who dedicates his existence to creating a unique and extremely personal oeuvre. By staying close to Eric and by giving him the space to reflect freely, an oppressive and moving portrait of one of the Netherlands' most passionate artists who has remained under the radar for a long time is created.

In 2019, Ricky de Sire proves that a lifetime of dreaming pays off, when he performs for a packed Bolder during the Here Comes The Summer festival and a compilation of his work is released. We could be heroes, just for one day.
