“My Penguin Friend” is a heartwarming family adventure about a lonely father, João (Jean Reno), who finds solace and healing through an unlikely friendship with a lost penguin. Despite his wife’s (Adriana Barraza) initial objections, João rescues the oil-covered penguin and forms a deep bond that reignites his joy for life. When the penguin disappears into the vast ocean, João believes their connection is lost forever. But the resilient bird embarks on a journey across thousands of miles, using its remarkable instincts to return home. Set against the breathtaking coasts of Brazil and Argentina, this film tells an emotional true story of love, nature’s beauty, and the enduring magic of the ocean.
