About this event

Join us in the cozy comfort of our sofas for an unforgettable cinematic journey, and mark your calendars for our screenings of 'The Penguin Lessons' on Saturday 17th of May.


Starring Steve Coogan, The Penguin Lessons follows Tom, a teacher starting a new job in a Buenos Aires boarding school in 1976. His teaching is interrupted by the fraught political violence taking place in Argentina, and spurs on a holiday to Uruguay where his life is changed after reluctantly rescuing a penguin from the beach.


Based on the memoir by Tom Michell, the film offers a touching story about an unexpected pair, that has a surprisingly deep and political core. Exploring the social unrest at the time in Argentina, it demonstrates how important personal connection is for giving us voice and strength to fight political oppression.
