An introverted girl finds herself challenged when she joins a school choir on a retreat to a convent in Slovenia. The film is notable for its use of music and its intense emotional feeling. This is a symphonic work that leads to a powerful crescendo and an optimistic coda.
“This elegant and mysterious debut from Slovenian director Urška Djukić, with its superb musical score and sound design, reinvents the cliched idea of a Catholic girl’s sexual awakening. … This is an utterly absorbing and outstandingly acted film.” Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian.
