Showing as part of Relaxed Saturdays: Family Time and Autism-Friendly Films
To book, click a time above.
Inspired by the true story of Tom Michell (Steve Coogan, Philomena, Alan Partridge), a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976.
Expecting an easy ride, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside-down.
From filmmaker Peter Cattaneo, director of The Full Monty, based on the touching memoir by the real-life Tom Michell.
Showroom Cinema has introduced Autism Friendly relaxed screenings. On Saturday mornings, our Family Time strand offers family friendly relaxed screenings. These will now be followed by a relaxed screening every Saturday. Our screenings have no adverts or trailers and offer unallocated seating, large screen space for movement, reduced film sound volume and low lighting during the film.
