English Summary:

Breakfast on Pluto is a 2005 comedy-drama film written and directed by Neil Jordan and based on the novel of the same name by Patrick McCabe, as adapted by Jordan and McCabe. The film stars Cillian Murphy as a transgender foundling searching for love and her long-lost mother in small town Ireland and London in the 1970s.

The film is divided into 36 chapters. In the fictional Irish town of Tyrellin, near the border of Northern Ireland in the late 1970s, cartoon robins narrate as Patrick Braden's mother, Eily Bergin, abandons her on the doorstep of the local parochial house, where Patrick's father, Father Liam, lives. She is then placed with an unloving foster mother. Assigned male at birth, a young Patrick is later shown donning a dress and lipstick, which angers her foster family. Patrick is accepted by her close friends, Charlie, Irwin, and Lawrence, as well as by Lawrence's father, who tells Patrick that Eily looked like blonde American movie star Mitzi Gaynor.

The story moves to Patrick's late teen years. Patrick gets into trouble in school by writing explicit fiction imagining how she was conceived by her parents and by inquiring about where to get a sex change. Patrick comes out as transgender, renames herself Kitten, also using the name Patricia, and approaches Father Liam in confession, asking about Eily, but is rebuffed. Kitten soon runs away from home, catching a ride with a glam rock band, Billy Hatchet and the Mohawks, and striking up a flirtation with leader Billy. Billy installs the lovestruck, homeless Kitten in a trailer home where she discovers he's hiding guns smuggled for the Irish Republican Army. Meanwhile, Irwin has begun to work with the IRA, much to the dismay of his now-girlfriend Charlie. Kitten dismisses Irwin's politics as "serious, serious, serious," but after Lawrence is killed by police detonating a suspected IRA car bomb, she tosses the IRA gun cache into a lake. Billy abandons Kitten to flee the IRA, forcing Kitten to stand up to the "serious, serious, serious," men alone. Her lack of connection to their politics saves her from being murdered.

Hungarian Summary:

A kis Patricket egy kisváros templomának lépcsőjén hagyják, ám Bernard atya nem tűnik túl meglepettnek, amikor a kis árvát megtalálja ajtajában. A csecsemőt a város egyik asszonyánál helyezi el, aki felneveli a gyereket. Azonban hamar nyilvánvalóvá válik, hogy a kis Patrick valójában fiútestbe bújt lány. Elkezdi magát Cicának hívatni... Amikor felnő, maga mögött hagyja a kisvárosi életet és Londonba megy, ahol transzvesztita kabaréénekesként születik újjá a hatvanas-hetvenes években.
