(DRAMA)
Director: Peter Cattaneo
With Steve Coogan, Jonathan Pryce
Runtime: 111 mins
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH, SOME SUBTITLED SPANISH
Disillusioned teacher Tom Michell (Steve Coogan) gets a job teaching English and Rugby in a school for rich kids in Buenos Aires. It’s 1976 and Argentina is controlled by a military dictatorship, but Tom is more interested in spending time on the beach than in either his pupils or the political situation. During a weekend trip to Uruguay he rescues an orphaned penguin and smuggles it back into the school, little suspecting that this is the beginning of a personal and political awakening.
