The Penguin Lessons - English subtitled
A comedy with a dark undertone, starring Steve Coogan as a disillusioned English teacher who takes care of a penguin that has washed ashore in Argentina in 1976.
Based on a bestselling book of the same name by Tom Michell, The Penguin Lessons is the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a boarding school in Buenos Aires in 1976. Expecting an easy ride, he discovered instead a complicated and divided nation – and a class of practically unteachable young boys. Whenever possible, he escapes to the beach. The serious political situation in the country leaves him indifferent. When he finds a small penguin washed up on an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside down – and the penguin becomes not only a valued friend, but also a teacher of life’s most important lessons, for Tom, the boys and, in fact, everyone he meets.
