“Human touch is transient. God’s touch lasts.” I don’t know about that? Kino Lorber debuted the official US trailer for a Slovenian indie drama titled Little Trouble Girls, which is getting a small release in limited theaters later this year. Hailing from the Eastern European country of Slovenia, Little Trouble Girls is made by Urška Djukić and it played at the Berlin, Tribeca, Sydney, Karlovy Vary, Melbourne, and Edinburgh Film Festivals this year. 16-year-old Lucia joins Catholic school choir, befriends senior Ana-Maria. During choir retreat at convent, Lucia’s attraction to a restoration worker creates tension with Ana-Maria and challenges her faith. This stunning coming-of-age feature debut by this Slovenian filmmaker won Best Cinematography at Tribeca. Starring Jara Sofija Ostan, Mina Svajger, and Sasa Tabakovió. Early reviews state the film “echoes the sensitivities of Céline Sciamma’s early coming-of-age stories but with a bold, cinematic bent.” Worth adding to the watchlist if you’re into discovering new filmmaking from around the world. View below.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Urška Djukić’s film Little Trouble Girls, direct from YouTube:
At her mother’s urging, introverted 16-year-old Lucia (Jara Sofija Ostan) joins her Catholic school’s all-girls choir, where she befriends Ana-Maria (Mina Svajger), a popular older student. When the choir goes 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. Little Trouble Girls is directed by Slovenian filmmaker Urska Djukic, making her feature directorial debut after a few other short films. The screenplay is by Urska Djukic and Marina Gumzi; with support from Maria Bohr and Geoffroy Grison. Produced by David Cej and Jozko Rutar. This initially premiered at the 2025 Berlin & Tribeca Film Festivals earlier this year. Kino Lorber releases Djukic’s Little Trouble Girls in select US theaters starting on December 5th, 2025 later in the year. For more info, visit their official site.
