The Penguin Lessons

Starring Steve Coogan (PHILOMENA, STAN & OLLIE), THE PENGUIN LESSONS is a poignant dramedy inspired by a true story, set against the backdrop of Argentina’s political turmoil in 1976. Tom (Coogan), a disillusioned Englishman, arrives in Buenos Aires to teach at a prestigious boarding school, expecting an easy experience. But as the city spirals into crisis, and his students remain unteachable, Tom’s life takes an unexpected turn when he rescues an oil-slicked penguin from a nearby beach. The bird’s surprising loyalty and unique presence forces Tom to confront his own repressed past and awaken to the responsibilities of both personal and political change.

Directed by Peter Cattaneo (THE FULL MONTY, MILITARY WIVES), this heartwarming film shows how even the most unlikely connections can spark profound change and self-discovery.
