After a heart transplant a young woman finds herself connecting with a homeless man through classical music. Throughout a series of dramatic performances and emotional events the two worlds begin to merge as one.

Like a cross between Harmony Korine’s work and Tim Hunter’s cult classic River’s Edge, Bugs follows a group of teenagers as they plan their weekend and jostle for position in the complex hierarchy of teenage social networks. Meanwhile, in nearby bushland, lies the corpse of Amanda. But, oddly, no one seems to care.

A weary man at the end of his tether is taught to accept his existence through the emotional hardships of a retired paramedic.
