Introverted 16-year-old Lucia (Jara Sofija Ostan) joins her Catholic school’s all-girls choir, where she befriends Ana-Maria (Mina Švajger), a popular and flirty third-year student. But when the choir travels to a countryside convent for a weekend of intensive rehearsals, Lucia’s interest in a dark-eyed restoration worker tests her friendship with Ana-Maria and the other girls. As she navigates unfamiliar surroundings and her budding sexuality, Lucia begins to question her beliefs and values, disrupting the harmony within the choir.

Little Trouble Girls is the debut feature from Slovenian director Urška Djukić and premiered as the opening film of the inaugural Perspectives competition, highlighting new filmmakers, at this year’s Berlinale. With its title inspired by the iconic 1995 song Little Trouble Girl by Sonic Youth, the film is a tender portrayal, sensuously shot and beautifully scored, of the sexual awakening of a young chorister.
