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.

“Although the character isn’t supposed to be charismatic, the nuance that Coogan brings to the role makes it evident that Tom’s exterior is only a mask for what he is truly dealing with behind closed doors.” ~ Isabella Soares, Collider
