Reminiscences of our Summer is a series about nostalgia and memories of the summertime we used to spend in New York City. Mister Softee is an ice cream truck franchise that has been announcing the beginning of warmer days ahead for New Yorkers since the late 1950s. Having Mister Softee as a vehicle to explore summer in different time periods, the loosely connected narrative explores many different topics such as rapid but subtle changes of the city and the coexistence of old and new.
