Film - The Penguin Lessons

The Penguin Lessons

Based on the beloved memoir by Tom Michell, this is an uplifting tale of unlikely friendship. Set against the sweeping South American landscape, Steve Coogan stars as an English teacher in 1970s Argentina who, escaping personal grief and political unrest, rescues a lone penguin from an oil spill. Smuggling the bird back to his boarding school, he soon discovers that this charming, waddling companion has a surprising impact on the lives of his pupils and colleagues. Notable for featuring the acting talents of a real Magellan penguin!

‘There is real power and poignancy in this slow-burning gem.’ –Sussex Express
