The Penguin Lessons is a 2024 comedy-drama film starring Steve Coogan and Jonathan Pryce. Directed by Peter Cattaneo, it is based on the 2015 memoir of the same name by Tom Michell. The film's story is inspired by true events.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.
