Teesdale Cinema Club: The Penguin Lessons
Comedy / Drama – Runtime 111 mins
Director: Peter Cattaneo
Starring: Steve Coogan, Johnathon Pryce and Bruno Blas
Synopsis: The film tells the story of a British teacher who travelled to South America to teach at a boys’ boarding school in Argentina in the 1970s. On a trip to Uruguay, he visited a beach in the Uruguayan resort of Punta del Este, where he stumbled on many dead penguins soaked with oil. He noticed one penguin still alive, so he decided to rescue it, bringing it to his hotel to clean and feed it. After that, the penguin would not leave him and followed, so eventually he took it back to the school.
