Introverted 16-year-old Lucia joins her Catholic school's all-girls choir, where she befriends Ana-Maria, 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. Navigating the unfamiliar surroundings and her budding sexuality, Lucia begins to question her belief and her values as new urges arise, disrupting the choir’s harmony.

Statement of the director:
With LITTLE TROUBLE GIRLS, I wanted to explore the mysteries of the senses as tools for understanding ourselves. I think the long-standing taboo around sexuality has left us still unable to fully understand or harness its potential power. The body has its own instinctive intelligence, guiding us if we listen carefully. The concept of sinful sexuality and the lack of education around it is a clever mechanism to disconnect individuals from their inner source of power. I’d say its important to allow ourselves to hear and trust our intuition, even when it contradicts societal norms. People deeply connected to their bodies are less easily controlled because they trust their internal guidance more than external directives.
