Cherries (Lithuanian: Uogos) is a Lithuanian short film written and directed by Vytautas Katkus and released in 2022.
A recently retired father invites his son to help him with the cherry picking in the garden. The father is in no hurry to finish the cherry job though, as he tries to catch up with his son. The cherries remain in the background.
Cherries is the third film by Vytautas Katkus and his second selection for the director at the Cannes Film Festival (2022), with his previous short film Collective Gardens (2019) becoming the first Lithuanian film to participate in the Critics' Week program at Cannes. [1] [2]
After several collaborations as a cameraman, Cherries marks Vytautas Katkus's first collaboration with producer Marija Razgutė of M-Films as a director.

His first feature film, The Visitor, is currently in development and will also be produced by M-Films. [6]
