Patrick “Kitten” Braden (Cillian Murphy) is a transvestite boy stuck in 70s rural Ireland. In a bid to find his errant mother and to escape persecution die to his sexuality, he leaves his village for London. There, he’s taken in by a rock band, falls for the lead singer, has brushes with the IRA, is arrested by the London police, works in a peep show, and poses as a survey researcher for the phone company. Set in a period of high tension between Britain and Ireland, Braden’s nationality and sexuality put him at great risk in London. In his search for his mother and for a safe place to be himself, he makes surprising discoveries about friendship and family. But, will he survive?
