A group of choir girls go on a three-day excursion with their singing teacher, far from their strictly religious homes. While away, a new world opens up to them, and they can see only one thing: sex. The girls soon start french-kissing statues of the Virgin Mary, caressing cracks in the wall with their fingers, and spying on handsome construction workers.

Little Trouble Girls at the Cineville Preview Days
On an autumnal afternoon at the Leiden International Film Festival last year, we caught the feature debut of Slovenian director Urška Djukić and instantly found ourselves longing for a sultry summer. With its undertone of longing, Little Trouble Girls takes us on a three-day Catholic choir retreat, where youthful desire flies in every direction. Within the complex dynamics of teenage friendships, these young women explore the holy trinity of prohibition, desire, and faith. We already tipped this film as one to look forward to for 2026, and here it is: sealed with a kiss from Cineville.
