Kinoatelje invites you to the screening of Urška Djukić's film Little Trouble Girls (Kaj ti je deklica), which recently won the FIPRESCI Award for Best Film in the new competition programme Perspectives at the Berlin International Film Festival. Just days after its Berlin triumph, the film will have its GO! 2025 Premiere on Thursday, March 6, at 19.00 at Kinogledališče Tolmin. The screening will be attended by the film crew, including the director and the lead actress.
Little Trouble Girls tells the story of Lucija, a shy and sensitive 16-year-old who joins an all-girls choir and befriends the flirtatious third-year student Ana-Marija. When the choir embarks on a weekend retreat to a rural monastery for intense rehearsals, Lucija’s attraction to a dark-eyed art restorer challenges her friendship with Ana-Marija and the other girls. As she navigates this unfamiliar environment and explores her awakening sexuality, Lucija begins to question her beliefs and values—disrupting the harmony within the choir.
The film received GO! 2025 support for distribution in the European Capital of Culture region, where it was also shot—specifically in Cividale del Friuli and its surroundings, as well as along the Natisone River. The screening will include Italian subtitles.
The screenplay for the film was written by Urška Djukić and Maria Bohr. The main roles are played by Jara Sofija Ostan, Mina Švajger, Saša Tabaković, Nataša Burger, Staša Popović, Mateja Strle, Saša Pavček, and others. The film's crew includes cinematographer Lev Predan Kowarski, editor Vlado Gojun, production designer Vasja Kokelj, costume designer Gilda Venturini, makeup artist Eva Uršič, and sound designer Julij Zornik.
