Mr Burton [12a]

Mr. Burton tells the true story of the relationship between Port Talbot schoolmaster Philip Burton [Toby Jones] and a wild young schoolboy called Richie Jenkins [Harry Lawtey] the son of a boozy miner. Richie dreamed of becoming an actor, but his ambitions were in danger of being derailed by a combination of family trouble, the pressure of war, and his own lack of discipline. Mr. Burton recognized the raw talent in his pupil, becoming his tutor, strict taskmaster and eventually his adoptive father. This is the story of how Richie Jenkins was turned into Richard Burton and who later said of Philip Burton that 'I owe him everything'.

The Penguin Lessons [12a]

Disillusioned Englishman Tom Michell (Steve Coogan) gets a job teaching English and Rugby in a school for rich kids in Buenos Aires. It’s 1976 and Argentina is controlled by a military dictatorship, but Tom is more interested in spending time on the beach than in either his pupils or the political situation.  During a weekend trip to Uruguay he rescues an orphaned penguin, hoping to impress a woman he has met, but when he tries to return it to the beach the penguin refuses to leave him. So he smuggles it back into the school, little suspecting that this is the beginning of a personal and political awakening.
