Little Trouble Girls

Opens Friday, December 5, 2025

At her mother’s urging, introverted 16-year-old Lucija joins her Catholic school’s all-girls choir, where she befriends Ana-Marija, a popular older student. When the choir travels to a countryside convent for a weekend retreat of intensive rehearsals, Lucija navigates the unfamiliar surroundings, complex teenage social structures, and her own awakening sexuality. A series of initiations, including an eye-opening experience with a handsome construction worker, test Lucija’s friendship with Ana-Marija and the other girls, as she begins to question her beliefs and disrupt the harmony within the choir.

This stunning feature debut by award-winning Slovenian filmmaker Urška Djukic had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival and won the Best Cinematography prize at Tribeca.
