Shy sixteen-year-old Lucija joins the choir at her Catholic school and quickly befriends the charismatic Ana-Marija. When the choir goes on a weekend retreat at a convent, Lucija’s attraction to a restoration worker throws her relationship with Ana-Marija and the rest of the choir into disarray.

First-time director Urška Djukić enters the bewildering realm of the senses with this beguilingly tactile evocation of teenage sexual becoming. Buffeted by hormonal intensity and sculpted by the rigors of music and Catholic dogma, Little Trouble Girls is a debut of immense promise.
