Heartwarming drama based on true events about a teacher who takes in a penguin in Argentina.
The story takes place in 1976 and follows British teacher Tom Michell (Steve Coogan) as he starts a new job in Argentina. While the country is undergoing political upheaval, he travels to neighboring Uruguay and encounters an orphaned penguin during a walk on the beach. He decides to rescue it and take it home with him. The penguin, which he names Juan Salvador, quickly becomes a loyal companion and changes Tom's life in unexpected ways. Although pets are strictly prohibited at his school, the penguin manages to win not only Tom's heart but also the hearts of the students and staff. Through the extraordinary friendship with the penguin, Tom learns not only about life in a foreign culture but also much about himself and his ability to help others.
