Here's the synop:
HUGGS is a feature screenplay made up of ten smaller stories/vignettes each featuring men either giving or receiving a hug. The script contains ten separate stories, with new locations and characters for each. The stories, while independent of each other, are related in that they all take place on Thanksgiving day, in the same town, and all involve men hugging. There are many characters, but most are smaller parts so the script could be filmed in stages and is quite flexible. It is low budget, with no fx, easy locations, no large crowd scenes, etc.

The individual stories each involve at least two men in some sort of conflict or situation that results in a hug. Locations include houses, a night club, a football field, a hospital, an airport, a church and a homeless shelter. The emotions leading to the hugs range from protection to fear, forgiveness to sympathy, compassion to graciousness, sexual intimacy to joy.

Some of the characters in the stories include a 7 year old boy waiting for his father to pick him up for a visit, grandfathers visiting their baby granddaughter, a groom on the morning of his wedding, a horny recovering alcoholic, two teenage football players, a lonely soldier, a homeless man giving away free hugs, a gay man in a nightclub and a male nurse saying goodbye to his childhood friend.
