Preview: THE PENGUIN LESSONS
ActOne presents a special preview of the heartwarming adaptation of Tom Michell’s bestselling memoir, before its UK release! Daily screenings of THE PENGUIN LESSONS from April 18th. Starring Oscar nominee Steve Coogan, and inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976, the film follows English teacher Tom Michell (Coogan) as he arrives at a prestigious boarding school, only to find himself struggling with a nation in turmoil and a class of unruly students. His life takes an unexpected turn when he rescues a small penguin from an oil-slicked beach. Naming it Juan Salvador, Tom soon realises the bird is more than just a pet – it becomes a source of wisdom and transformation for him and those around him, including the school’s headmaster, Buckle (Jonathan Pryce). Directed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty) and adapted by Jeff Pope (Philomena), The Penguin Lessons is a poignant tale of friendship, resilience, and the surprising ways we find hope in difficult times.DramaPT1H52M12A2025-04-16Steve Coogan
