Synopsis

Starring Oscar nominee Steve Coogan, this poignant dramedy from director Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty) follows an Englishman’s personal and political awakening after he adopts a penguin during a cataclysmic period in Argentine history.

Inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976. Expecting an easy ride, Tom (Coogan) discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside-down.

Coming soon to Luna Leederville, Luna on SX & The Windsor.

Reviews

This is amusing stuff, well served by Coogan’s knack for haughty composure in the face of the absurd.
Variety
Cattaneo's latest project is delightful and meaningful, showing the importance that a pet-owner relationship holds in the owner's journey to healing.
Collider
