The Penguin Lessons

In 1976, British teacher Tom (Steve Coogan) arrives in Argentina expecting a cushy job at an elite boys school. Instead, he discovers a nation on the verge of fascism and students who are utterly disinterested in learning. Already cynical from past tragedy, Tom finds his way back to optimism after befriending a penguin he rescues from an oil-slicked beach. Inspired by an unbelievable true story, The Penguin Lessons is a moving ode to interspecies relationships.
