The Wind Change An elderly artist in mourning, retraces the happiness of an earlier period as he wanders familar lakes and mountains of the Adirondacks.
Zigzag An old ragged stranger wanders by a village wineshop and engages the struggling proprietor in a tale - a long ago amorous adventure in a foreign land.
The Blanket A man's determination to carry out a promise - transporting his brother's ashes on a voyage under sail, with his two nephews, to a final, sacred resting place.
