The Penguin Lessons is a 2024 comedy-drama film directed by Peter Cattaneo and starring Steve Coogan and Jonathan Pryce.A disillusioned Englishman who goes to work in a boy's boarding school in a divided Argentina in 1976 finds his life transformed after a trip to the Uruguayan resort of Punta del Este. On the beach he stumbled on many dead penguins soaked with oil. He noticed one penguin still alive, and so decided to rescue it, bringing it to his hotel to clean and feed it. After that, the penguin would not leave him and kept following him; eventually he took it back to the school, where it became a popular pet.
This poignant tale highlights the transformative power of compassion and the unique bond between humans and animals.
