Kaj Ti Je Deklica
A 16-year-old joins a Catholic school choir and befriends a senior. During a retreat, attractions to a restoration worker create tensions between the two and challenges their faith.
Lucija (Jara Sofija Ostan) is an introverted who is prone to drifting off into daydreams. Key among these are the vividly painted lips of Ana-Marija (Mina Svajger), a confident and popular senior who, like Lucija, sings alto in their Catholic school's all-girls choir. When the choir travels to northern Italy, Lucija finds herself attracted to a workman renovating the convent causing tension within her newly formed social circle. Slovenian director Urska Djukic digs deep into the fertile terrain of religion and adolescent hormones and finds something fresh in this coming-of-age drama. Premiered at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival launching Djukic as a new female force in the industry. The title comes from the ‘Sonic Youth’ song of the same name which plays over the closing credits, and whose lyrics perfectly encapsulate the frustrations of the film’s lead character. (Subtitles)
