This feel-good comedy is based on the true story of Tom Michell, a British teacher who accidentally adopts a penguin while teaching at a boarding school in Argentina during the 1976 coup d'état, in which the president was overthrown. Initially grumpy and detached, Tom starts looking at life in a new way, thanks to the bird that he rescues and who won't leave him alone. As political tension in the streets becomes serious, and as students and staff at the school also face challenges, the presence of the endearing penguin somehow brings about much needed positivity and change. A human drama, with both English and Spanish dialogue, that plays out against the backdrop of political tension, this is a timely reminder of how small actions, and even smaller creatures, can make a grand impact.
