Prepare yourself for some Penguin Lessons at the New Royalty Cinema on 19th October starting at 14:00.
Prepare to be charmed, uplifted and inspired by The Penguin Lessons, a delightful film that proves friendship can arrive in the most unexpected of forms.
Set against the vibrant yet turbulent backdrop of 1970s South America, the film stars Steve Coogan as Tom Michell, a weary English teacher who relocates to Argentina in search of purpose. His life takes an extraordinary turn when he discovers a stranded penguin on a polluted beach. Against all odds, Tom rescues the bird, names him Juan Salvador, and finds himself saddled with an unlikely companion who refuses to leave his side.
Directed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty, Military Wives), the film blends gentle humour with moving drama, capturing the touching bond between man and penguin while never shying away from the political and social unrest of the era. With Jonathan Pryce and Alfonsina Carrocio in strong supporting roles, and Coogan delivering a performance full of wit and warmth, The Penguin Lessons is both entertaining and quietly profound.
At its heart, this is a story about courage, compassion and the lessons we can learn from nature itself. Beautifully shot and brimming with heart, it’s a film that will leave audiences smiling, reflecting, and perhaps even believing in small miracles.
Waddle along to see The Penguin Lessons, a must-see for families, animal lovers, and anyone in need of a feel-good story with real emotional depth.
