A Highly Political Movie About a Penguin. I thought it was excellent.

[NNadir]

My wife and I saw it in our local art theater of which we are members:

The Penguin Lessons

It's set in Argentina at the time of the military fascist takeover in 1976:

An cynical expat English teacher in an Argentine prep school, takes a trip to Uruguay where, trying to hit on a woman, he rescues a penguin from an oil slick to impress her.

He ends up being compelled to adopt the Penguin and is forced to face the moral consequences of living in a fascist state.

It was excellent, and I recommend it highly, drags a bit in the beginning, but hits hard in the end.

It's also timely, as the United States is going fascist.
