Pingwin (Penguin) is a 1964 Polish film directed by Jerzy Stefan Stawiński and starring Andrzej Kozak.

Plot
Modest Warsaw University of Technology student Andrzej (Kozak), known as Pingwin, is in love with Baśka Oraczewska (Konarska). Baśka, however, does not pay attention to him, preferring the company of the "Banana Youth" (Bananowa młodzież), student activists. Pingwin tries to become one of them. At a party, Adaś Bączek (Wojciech Duryasz) humiliates Baśka by reading love letters she's written, and Andrzej defends her. Adaś is kidnapped for ransom, but the abduction is in fact staged by small-time crook Łukasz Broda (Cybulski). Andrzej has a man-to-man talk with Łukasz, and Adaś is released back to his family. Pingwin is beaten up by Łukasz's friends, but gains Baśka's favor.
