| Story: |
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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
