BREAKFAST ON PLUTO
SYNOPSIS
A vibrant, picturesque new movie from NEIL JORDAN,
the award winning director of THE CRYING GAME,
INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE, and THE END OF THE
AFFAIR.
Set in the 1970’s, Breakfast on Pluto follows the
exploits of Patrick Braden (Murphy), an endearing, but
deceptively tough young man. Abandoned as a baby in
his small Irish hometown and aware from a very early
age that he is different, Patrick survives this harsh
environment with the aid of his wit and charm, plus a
sweet refusal to let anyone and anything change who
he is.
Jordan weaves a wonderfully surreal and magical tale
to bring us this funny, moving and poignant rites of
passage account of a young man enduring the trials
and tribulations he faces with a smile and unwavering
faith in the inherent goodness in us all.-- ©Sony
