Set in the 1970s during a particularly bloody flash point in the Anglo-Irish conflicts, Patrick "Kitten" Braden is well aware that he is ‘different' from the other boys but steadfastly, and happily, refuses to change. As a young man (with a great eye for ladieswear and an enviable ability to carry the look off) Patrick decides to leave his troubled homeland and head to London in search of his real mother, an adventure to be sure. Neil Jordan has succeeded in creating a joyous creature in ‘Kitten' and the dark fascinating world in which he resides. Funny, poignant, perceptive and beautifully performed, Breakfast On Pluto is quite a trip.
