A heartwarming dramedy inspired by true events, The Penguin Lessons follows a disillusioned Englishman (Steve Coogan) who arrives in 1976 Argentina to teach but finds himself amid political turmoil and unruly students. When he rescues an oil-slicked penguin, the unlikely bond challenges him to confront his past and embrace change.

Adolfo Rivera is an 18 year old, undefeated boxer from a conservative catholic family in Miami, Florida. His love for his tight-knit family is apparent; not just in their time spent together but in the bruises and broken bones he's willing to endure time and time again in order to help them pay the bills. Adolfo may be remarkably talented in the ring, but his family's dreams for his profession are far different from what Adolfo has in mind. Adolfo is secretly saving his winnings for the biggest fight of his life; self acceptance in his desire to transition into a woman.
