The eccentric, very funny, but thought-provoking true story of Tom Michell (played here by Steve Coogan, Philomena, Alan Partridge), a disillusioned Englishman who went to teach in a school in Argentina in 1976, right on the cusp of a military coup.
Expecting an easy ride, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside-down.
From filmmaker Peter Cattaneo, director of The Full Monty, based on the touching memoir by the real-life Tom Michell.
