At her mother's urging, introverted 16-year-old Lucia joins her Catholic school's all-girls choir, where she befriends Ana-Maria, a popular older student. When the choir travels to a countryside convent for a weekend retreat of intensive rehearsals, Lucia 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 Lucia's friendship with Ana-Maria and the other girls, as she begins to question her beliefs and disrupt the harmony within the choir.

Critics Consensus

Harmonizing themes of sexual awakening and spirituality into a wholly authentic and revelatory coming-of-age drama, Little Trouble Girls is an arresting feature debut from writer-director Urška Djukić.

It is a film that expertly tackles the inherent risks of its plot to deliver a film as full of irreverence and sensuality as it is of artistic sensitivity. [Full review in Spanish]

Formally and dramatically, the movie has poise, which only strengthens its depiction of girls thrown off balance by growing up.

The connection between the Christian promise of eternal life and the origins of life is subversively inscribed in the visual script from the very first minutes. [Full review in Spanish]

A coming-of-age story that moves between the pulse of the physical and the gravity of the sacred. [Full review in Spanish]

It follows 16-year-old Lucia, who joins her Catholic school choir and travels to a rural convent, where faith, discipline, and awakening desire begin to collide....The film unfolds as an intimate coming-of-age story, focusing more on inner conflict than external drama. A single "wrong note" becomes the emotional climax, symbolizing Lucia’s quiet rebellion.....Minimal dialogue and rich symbolism explore themes of identity, guilt, and the tension between belief and bodily autonomy.....Its slow pacing and open ending may test some viewers, but the psychological depth feels honest and mature....Subtle, poetic, and quietly bold, it’s less about defiance and more about self-discovery....
