Praeis (It’ll Pass) | Award-Winning Short Film

🎬 SUBMIT YOUR FILM ➔ https://shortverse.com/submit A daughter of a cigarette smuggler reevaluates the memories of her father, questioning the childhood myth she built around him and getting to know him anew. _Praeis_ Dir. Dovydas Drakšas As children, our parents can feel like the centre of our world - figures of stability and/or authority who are easily placed on a pedestal. Inevitably, however, there comes a moment when that perception begins to shift, and we start to recognise them as flawed, complex individuals, no less uncertain than we are. It is this quiet but profound transition that Dovydas Drakšas captures with sensitivity and restraint in his London Film School short, _Praeis (It’ll Pass)_ - a film that had its World Premiere in the La Cinef section of Cannes in 2025. - S/W Curator, Rob Munday FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2026/03/26/praeis-itll-pass/ *Credits* Ada - Ieva Kaniušaitė Father - Šarūnas Puidokas Writer/Director - Dovydas Drakšas Producers - Mantas Macenavičius, Jing Zhao Director of Photography - Tamás A.
