Short description

A lost penguin rescued from an oil spill transforms the life of a heartbroken fisherman. They become unlikely friends, so bonded that even the vast ocean cannot divide them.

What's left behind the scenes

Ten penguins from Ubatuba (a city in Brazil) portrayed Dindim. 80% of the penguin shots in the film featured real birds, 15% used digital technology (in scenes where filming real birds was unsafe), and 5% relied on animatronics.
