Dir.: Neil Jordan | 130 minutes

Breakfast on Pluto

UK, Ireland 2005 | 130 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

The fact that he was raised in a convent doesn't keep Patrick from wearing dresses and lipstick. After being rejected by his Catholic environment he changes his name to "kitten" and goes down to London to find his long lost mother. With an mage of the woman in his head, Patrick lands anywhere and with anyone who will welcome him: from a rocker who falls in love with him, through a magician who enjoys his friendship, and on. His gentle manner is what makes him both an object of affection and a victim. Neil Jordan explores questions of sexual identity and with a free script and an angelic Cillian Murphy the result is a delicate drama.
