 So in this hour of selected shorts, let's envelop ourselves in the extended aria of the summer. Stories on the show will take on some of the season's most recognizable rituals. Beach trips, cool-down sessions, and pastoral delights of all kinds. In one story, as a city melts down, a romantic pair finds their own private escape. In another, a writer resists speeches in favor of her A.C. unit. And in a third, an aging man leads a quiet revolt on the ball field.
