From the director of THE FULL MONTY!

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 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.

"This is amusing stuff, well served by Coogan’s knack for haughty composure in the face of the absurd." – Variety

"As a whole, Cattaneo’s latest project is delightful and meaningful, showing the importance that a pet-owner relationship holds in the owner’s journey to healing." – Collider

“You will smile and you will laugh – sometimes uncontrollably.” -Next Best Picture
