Kino Lorber has released the official US trailer for a Slovenian indie drama titled Little girls in difficultywhich will be released in small quantities in limited theaters later this year. Originally from Slovenia, an Eastern European country, Little girls in difficulty is directed by Urška Djukić and was screened this year at the Berlin, Tribeca, Sydney, Karlovy Vary, Melbourne and Edinburgh film festivals. Lucia, 16, joins the choir of a Catholic school and becomes friends with Ana-Maria. During a choir retreat at the convent, Lucia’s attraction to a restaurateur creates tension with Ana-Maria and calls her faith into question. This stunning coming-of-age debut feature from the Slovenian filmmaker won Best Cinematography at Tribeca. Featured Stay Jara Sofia, My sisters-in-lawAnd Sasa Tabakovi. Early reviews claim the film “echoes the sensibilities of Céline Sciamma’s early coming-of-age stories, but with a bold cinematic bent.” It’s worth adding to the watchlist if you want to discover new films from around the world.
