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.

The 4.30pm screening on Sat 30 Aug will be followed by a Reclaim the Frame recorded Q&A (13 mins) with co-writer and director Urška Djukić. The screening and Q&A will include Descriptive Subtitles.

Reclaim The Frame is an organisation dedicated to bringing ever greater audiences to films by people from marginalised genders to offer a wider perspective of the world. This project seeks to empower audiences to make a positive intervention in the distribution and exhibition space, to prove that these filmmakers are commercially viable and in demand.

Our Reclaim The Frame events create a space to discuss what's under the surface of each story. If you want to be an Advocate for the work we do, join our mailing list.
