Among tales of remarkable human - animal friendships few true stories have been as mysterious, or as profoundly touching, as that of the little Magellanic penguin who crossed the vast ocean, again and again, of his own accord, to visit the fisherman who rescued him from peril. Now this “Penguin out of Water” tale comes to theaters as an emotional and poignant family adventure, a journey of friendship, courage, compassion, and the power of love to reach across even the greatest emotional and oceanic distances. Shot amid the breathtaking tropical coasts of Brazil and vibrant penguin colonies of Patagonia, The Penguin & The Fisherman breaks the mold by featuring live penguins in performance alongside a global castled by international screen legend Jean Reno and Oscar - nominated Adriana Barraza.
