Baby & Carer/ The Penguin Lessons (12A)

This is a Baby & Carer Screening and is designed ONLY for parents, grandparents and carers attending with babies aged 12 months and under.

Starring Steve Coogan, this poignant dramedy from Peter Cattaneo follows an Englishman’s personal and political awakening after he adopts a penguin during a cataclysmic period in Argentine history. 

Travelling to Uruguay, Tom encounters a penguin drenched in oil from a spill, and against his better judgment, rescues the bird. In doing so, he unlocks its undying loyalty, and after sneaking the flightless beast back to Argentina, begins a strange and beautiful friendship with the penguin that sees it become an unwitting agent of change for Tom and eventually, the whole school. 

The Penguin Lessons screens on general release from Wed 16 Apr.
