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 (Steve 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.

“The Penguin Lessons is a charmer: a warmer of cockles, a tugger of heartstrings, even a jerker of tears if you’re not careful.  And while it may in hindsight seem a little over-engineered to do all those things, that doesn’t dampen the effect.  People’s Choice material or not, I loved it.”  (Chris Knight, Original-Cin)

“Coogan brings a delightfully sardonic deadpan to the role of the bemused bystander observing the antics of penguins, adolescents and … military dictatorships.”  (Kate Taylor, The Globe and Mail (Toronto))

“As much as it might omit details important to the wider historical context, The Penguin Lessons confidently engages with its intended topics, and creates something beautiful and emotional.”  (Ben Gibbons, Screen Rant)
