Plot
In an industrial area of Adelaide,
Bubby is a mentally challenged 35-year-old man who lives in a squalid
house with his abusive and religious fanatic mother, Florence. He has
never left the house, due to his mother convincing him that the air
outside is toxic, and Jesus
will strike him down should he leave. He and his mother regularly have
incestuous sex, with his mother often encouraging Bubby to fondle her
breasts. The two have no other company except for a pet cat, which Bubby
accidentally kills with clingwrap.
One night, Bubby's father Harold returns, having abandoned
Florence years earlier to pursue a career as a preacher. Harold did not
know he had a son, but he quickly comes to disdain Bubby, and mocks him
for his presumed mental disorder. Harold beats Bubby, and encourages
Florence to do so as well. Tired of the abuse, Bubby suffocates his
parents with clingwrap, and decides to venture outside for the first
time.
Bubby is picked up by members of The Salvation Army,
and wanders into the town centre. He is harassed by members of the
public for his social ineptitude and strange behaviour. He is later
given a lift by a group of men who perform in a rock band, and he helps
the band set up a gig. The band take a liking to Bubby, but are also
unnerved by his odd actions. After reading a newspaper that reports on
the murder of Bubby's parents, the band members decide to send him to
stay with their friend Dan.
Dan and Bubby go out for dinner, but Bubby fondles a woman and is
arrested. He is sent to jail, but is unwilling to talk with the warden.
As punishment, he sends Bubby into a separate cell, where he is raped
by another inmate, "The Animal". The prison chief then deems him to be
rehabilitated, and lets him go.
Bubby enters a church, and converses with a man there, "The
Scientist", who tells Bubby that God does not exist, and it is the job
of humans to "think God out of existence" and take responsibility for
themselves. Bubby goes to a pub and fondles another woman, and is beaten
by her friends. Overwhelmed, Bubby returns to his home as he believes
that there is no place for him in the world. He dons his father's
clothes and assumes the personality of "Pop".
With newfound confidence, Bubby returns to town and finds a stray
cat, who he vows to take care of. He goes to the club where the rock
band are performing, and joins them on stage, where he delivers a
bizarre performance, repeating phrases he has heard from various people.
His performance is a success with the crowd, and he goes back to feed
the cat, but is distraught to see that it has been killed by local
hoodlums.
Upset, Bubby encounters a nurse named Angel, who cares for people
with physical disabilities. They return to the care centre, and Bubby
becomes infatuated with her breasts, as they remind him of his mother's.
Angel and Bubby become lovers, and Bubby returns to performing with the
rock band, becoming a sensation with audiences.
Angel invites him to have dinner with her strict and religious
parents. Angel's parents humiliate her by mocking her weight, enraging
Bubby, who curses at God in retaliation, before her parents demand he
leave. Bubby kills Angel's parents with clingwrap, and the two continue
their relationship. Finally at peace with himself, Bubby and Angel later
have multiple children.
