Disillusioned teacher Tom Michell (Steve Coogan) gets a job teaching English and Rugby in a school for rich kids in Buenos Aires. It’s 1976 and Argentina is controlled by a military dictatorship, but Tom is more interested in spending time on the beach than in either his pupils or the political situation. During a weekend trip to Uruguay he rescues an orphaned penguin, hoping to impress a woman he has met, but when he tries to return it to the beach the penguin refuses to leave him. So he smuggles it back into the school, little suspecting that this is the beginning of a personal and political awakening.
