Whiling away on a lazy day with the sun blazing in the sky is a time honored tradition, and being hot (literally and figuratively) is only human. With this series we have your desert oasis to escape those steamy temperatures, so don’t break a sweat. Come relax in a cool dark room while traveling through time and across the globe with lost masterpieces, summer staples, and films that challenge the form—an eclectic mix of movies that are sure to be a hot ticket.

This tale of a dissolute bourgeois extended family, whiling away the hours of one sweaty, sticky summer is a visceral take on class, nature, sexuality, and the ways that political turmoil and social stagnation can manifest in human relationships.
