Little Trouble Girls (Kaj ti je deklica)

The soul is here.

But speaking the truth in love,

let us grow into Him who is the head, Christ.

From him the whole body,

joined together by every supporting ligament,

growth of the body...

Take off your former way of life,

the old self corrupted by deceitful desires,

to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

and to put on the new self,

created according to God’s likeness

in righteousness and purity of the truth.

Thank you. You can return to your place.

As you've noticed, there are new girls among us.

Welcome. I hope we'll have fun

and create something beautiful together.

Now, please take your places.

The new girls too. Stand in your voice groups.

Okay, I'll help you.

You can go here.

And you, come here and stand next to Ana-Maria.

Move closer, so I can see you.

That's fine. Please remember your new positions.

Remember who's on your left and who's on your right.

Let's start with some warm-up. Put your sheets down.

Let's do the support exercise.

Relax and...

Continue.

That's it.

Your diaphragm must work.

Split it.

Now triplets.

Breathe in every time.

Every time, okay?

Up.

A bit more.

Grab it on high. That's it.

Fine, thanks.

Let's do a breathing exercise.

Bend over towards the floor.

Your head is dangling, your neck is relaxed.

Arms beside your body.

Breathe in through your nose

as if you wanted to smell something.

So the lumbar part expands.

That's the point. When you smell it,

I want to hear your breath, a short breath,

but expand the lumbar part. Again.

You have to feel the lumbar part expanding.

Hello, girls. Don't mind me.

Hey.

The head-mistress wants me to change a bulb in her office.

Again?

- I need the ladder. - You know where it is. Take it.

We'll sing "Igraj kolce".

It says forte. Don't scream. Lower your chin and open.

And...

More.

Grab it.

And...

That's it.

Listen to each other.

Forte.

Altos, something's wrong. The 'igraj kolo' part.

It must be prominent. Otherwise...

...the song falls apart.

I have to hear you.

Hana, can you do it?

And...

A bit more strongly. Again.

And...

A bit better. Lucia, right?

Now you, please.

Good, a bit more fullness please.

And...

Much better. Again. Grab it.

Come on.

Yes, nice.

Okay, let's...

The forte at the beginning must be clearer, stronger.

We must be one.

Lucia.

Stop daydreaming and join us.

Girls, the rehearsal isn't over yet.

So concentrate please.

All together now.

We have a lot of work to do.

It's a good thing we're going... - Where?

To Cividale.

For intensive rehearsals at the Ursuline convent.

- We'll rehearse, eat... - Apricot dumplings.

Apricot intensive dumplings.

- And stuff ourselves with... - Gelato.

Have your parents sign it.

See you on Tuesday.

Here.

Thanks.

By the way...

The conductor always wears really funny shorts

at those rehearsals.

Really?

You'll see.

I'm Ana-Maria, by the way.

- Lucia. - Nice to meet you.

Cool lipstick.

Thanks.

I can put it on you if you like.

Oh, no, no need.

My aunt from Paris gave me this.

Wow.

Your aunt from Paris?

Look at this. A gift from her aunt from Paris.

- Really? - It's awesome.

So pretty. Can I put it on please?

- Me first. - Okay.

Okay.

- What? - Nice one.

- Spread it. - Is there too much of it?

No, there's never too much.

You'll have to finish it yourself.

- I will. - Okay.

Now you.

Awesome.

That's pretty too.

- Yeah? - So pretty.

- It's your turn. - It's really nice. - Yeah?

This colour really suits you.

- It really does. - Let's take a photo.

Come on.

Let's take a look in the mirror.

It really suits you. Here.

Lucia.

I have to go.

- How did the rehearsal go? - Well.

- The conductor praised me. - Is that so?

He gave us forms for you to sign.

What forms?

For traditional intensive rehearsals in Cividale.

How long do they last?

- Three days. - Oh.

Did you plan on wearing lipstick there too?

Well?

No.

I thought we'd agreed about lipstick.

- Yes. - Yes? So?

But all girls wear it.

You have to be like them? You can't think for yourself?

Lucia, you're 16 years old.

Lipstick isn't appropriate for school.

I wore it only at the rehearsal.

- You're too young. - Why? - What do you mean?

Do you think you can do anything you like?

- That nobody's watching you? - You're exaggerating.

Give me the lipstick.

I told you to give it to me!

You can't sleep either?

No.

Me neither.

But he sure can.

He sleeps on the couch every afternoon

and then in front of the TV at night.

Do you know what helps?

What?

Ice-cream.

What is that?

- I don't know, a film. - Turn it down a bit.

Turn it up.

He won't wake up. You'll see.

An earthquake wouldn't wake him.

- Ana-Maria, come on. - I'm sorry, Klara-Maria.

You're such a Mary.

I am Mary.

- Saint Mary. - Not anymore.

- For a while now. - Shush.

Hey.

Uršula.

- Uršu... - What do you want?

- Good morning, Uršula. - You keep sleeping.

- So what? - Good for you.

A deer. Look!

Look! A deer, girls.

A deer, look!

- Did you see it? - Yeah. - Another one!

Oh, I need to show you something.

- What? - Lucia, look.

OMG.

Look at those boobs.

What is it?

3,000 years ago they worshiped a goddess

instead of a god.

Because they had such big vulvas.

Yeah.

What was it like when they got their period?

- They had pads, didn't they? - But not the same as now.

My grandma said they were made from cloth.

- Cloth? - Yeah. - It must've all leaked through.

Yuck!

When did you first get your period, Klara?

- When I was 13. - What about you?

I don't have it yet.
