A 2024 comedy-drama film starring Steve Coogan and Jonathan Pryce. Premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival on 6 September 2024. Tom Michell's 2015 memoir chronicles his experience as a British teacher who travelled to South America to teach at a boys' boarding school in Argentina in the 1970s. He visited a beach in the Uruguayan resort of Punta del Este where he stumbled on many dead penguins soaked with oil. He noticed one penguin still alive, and so he 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.
