Humble fisherman João (International star Jean Reno) has turned away from the world in the wake of tragedy. But when he discovers a penguin drifting alone in the ocean, drenched in oil from a spill, his first instinct is to help. To his wife’s (Oscar nominee Adriana Barraza) dismay, he not only rescues the sea creature, but takes the flightless bird under his wing. For the first time in years Joã o starts to feel joy, even if he cannot fathom just how unbreakable a bond is being formed. When the penguin suddenly disappears back into the immense wilds of the ocean, João believes it is impossible that he will ever see his friend again. But thousands of miles away, the penguin is caught in misadventures of his own, determined to use his unique GPS-like powers to find his way back to the place he now considers home.

Based on the true story of the biggest jail break in Europe since World War II, Maze is a thriller that follows the relationship between two men on opposite sides of the prison bars. The film charts how inmate Larry Marley (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor) becomes chief architect of this daring escape, which freed 38 Northern Ireland Republican political prisoners. Standing in his way is HM Prison Maze, one of the most state-of-the-art and secure prisons in the world – a prison within a prison – comprised of a labyrinth of H-shaped buildings encased in even higher concrete walls. While attempting to pull off this unimaginable feat, Larry comes into close contact with prison warder Gordon Close (Barry Ward). Although based on deception and manipulation, the trust that these two men develop becomes symbolic of the peace process that eventually resolves the Northern Ireland conflict.
