Urška Djukić’s debut feature film Kaj ti je deklica premiered in Berlinale’s Perspectives Competition this February. Perspectives, Berlinale’s a new international competitive strand for fiction feature debuts, shines a spotlight on new filmmakers. The features represent an international range of voices who have a bold and fluent cinematic language and offer arresting perspectives and new ways of seeing the world.

The film focuses on introverted 16-year-old Lucia, who joins her Catholic school’s all-girl 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. As she navigates unfamiliar surroundings and her budding sexuality, Lucia begins to question her beliefs and values, disrupting the harmony within the choir.

After spending six years making Little Trouble Girls, I'm really looking forward to the Berlin premiere! I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire film crew, especially everyone who fervently believed in this project, who selflessly supported me and made this film hand in hand with me. I hope the film reaches as many viewers as possible, allowing them to feel the deeper beauty and power of filmmaking.
