New Release

‘My Penguin Friend’

In this uplifting tale inspired by a true story, Joao (Jean Reno), a grieving fisherman, rescues a penguin from an oil spill, finding new purpose in his life. Though his wife has doubts, their bond deepens. When the penguin disappears, Joao fears he’ll never see it again, but the determined bird embarks on a journey of thousands of miles to return home.

The breathtaking cinematography of Brazil and Argentina’s coastlines frames this moving narrative, celebrating nature, friendship, resilience, and the enduring power of love.
