"A wonderfully quirky and charming film about a man and a penguin.....now that may sound odd, but it is tender, life affirming and has genuinely funny gentle humour. Steve Coogan turns in a winning performance as a loner, forced to integrate more into society by his enchanting little black and white feathered friend. Equal parts funny, endearing and sentimental and one of those rare films that genuinely has something for all of the family to enjoy together".
In 1976, as Argentina descends into violence and chaos, a world-weary English teacher regains his compassion for others thanks to an unlikely friendship with a penguin.
