Experience a heart warming true-life story, bound to make you laugh and cry.
Naomi Watts stars in the true story of Sam Bloom, whose recovery from a tragic accident is helped when she and her family meet an unusual visitor. Naomi Watts delivers an inspiring performance in Glendyn Ivin’s PENGUIN BLOOM, dramatizing the surprising, true-life story of a woman who suffers a traumatic accident and then finds a unique ally to pull her out of despair. This portrait of a family finding its way through a crisis is both moving and heartwarming. Australian Sam Bloom (Watts) is enjoying a blissful vacation in Thailand when a horrifying accident sends her falling storeys down to the pavement. Life changes in an instant for her, but also for her husband, Cameron (Andrew Lincoln), and their three children. Back home, Sam’s painful adjustment to her new disability leaves her unable to appreciate her idyllic home and a family trying to connect. “It’s not enough,” she says plainly. When the family takes in a stray magpie, naming it Penguin for its black-and-white plumage, Sam is practically scornful. But the little bird cries when it needs help, forcing Sam to focus on more than her own hurt. Against her better judgment, Sam begins to tend to Penguin.
