  • Saltash Studios 24 Fore Street Saltash, England, PL12 6JL United Kingdom (map)

A heartwarming story of a man and a penguin set against the backdrop of Argentina's turbulent 1970s.

During the 1976 coup in Argentina an English teacher rescues a tar soaked penguin and takes it to his exclusive boy's school. His life begins to change when the bird's presence starts to have a positive effect on the school. This film is unique for the way it humanises people through the friendship with a penguin.

A gentle comedy adapted from the book of the true story of Tom Mitchell, an English teacher from Truro.

Stars: Steve Coogan, Jonathan Pryce, Bruno Blas

Director: Peter Cattaneo, Director of the Full Monty
