Poster for The Penguin Lessons

Tom (Steve Coogan), a grumpy teacher and through-and-through Englishman, comes to Buenos Aires in the 1970s to teach English at a boys' boarding school. Amid the turmoil of the military coup, his students are rebellious and incorrigible. This does not make it easier for Tom. But his life takes an unexpected turn when one day he saves a penguin's life on the oil-polluted shore of Uruguay and despite all his efforts, he cannot get rid of it again. The penguin moves onto Tom's terrace, becomes a loyal friend to him and a penguin of trust for his students. Because penguins are not only insanely cute, but also great listeners...
