Two friends wander around a Soviet-era neighbourhood in the outskirts of Vilnius. An airport is going to be built here soon, and the place where they grew up will cease to exist. This thoughtful, post-dramatic film shot by director and cinematographer Vytautas Katkus is an inquiry into the psychogeography of post-Soviet Lithuania.
Cherries
A hot summer day. The cherry-tree branches are full of ripe berries, swaying from the wind and weight. A recently retired father invites his son to help him with the cherry picking in the garden. The father is not in a rush, as he now wants to spend more time with his son, leaving the cherries in the background. Working together and staying silent, they both realize how much time they’ve lost during those 30 years. The cherries bring the two men back to their first memories and let them experience them longer, as if to start all over again.
