My Penguin Friend is based on a true story about a man and his friendship with a penguin, that reportedly swims 5,000 miles every year just to visit him.
“Humble fisherman Jo?o (International star Jean Reno) has turned away from the world in the wake of tragedy,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “But when he discovers a penguin drifting alone in the ocean, drenched in oil from a spill, his first instinct is to help. To his wife’s (Oscar nominee Adriana Barraza) dismay, he not only rescues the sea creature, but takes the flightless bird under his wing. For the first time in years Jo?o starts to feel joy, even if he cannot fathom just how unbreakable a bond is being formed. When the penguin suddenly disappears back into the immense wilds of the ocean, Jo?o believes it is impossible that he will ever see his friend again. But thousands of miles away, the penguin is caught in misadventures of his own, determined to use his unique GPS-like powers to find his way back to the place he now considers home.”
