Synopsis

Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house for his entire thirty years, convincing him that the air outside is poisonous. After a visit from his estranged father, circumstances force Bubby into the waiting world, a place which is just as unusual to him as he is to the world. –IMDb

I think the movie has some little imperfections that could have been avoided... apart from that the story's beautiful and moving

I don't see this film as vile or sick at all, it may have started that way but then it blossomed into one of most heart warming films I've ever seen. The cinematography wasn't what made it beautiful.
