At her mother’s urging, introverted 16-year-old Lucija joins her Catholic school’s all-girls choir, where she befriends Ana-Marija, a popular older student. When the choir travels to a countryside convent for a weekend retreat of intensive rehearsals, Lucija is thrust into unfamiliar surroundings, complex teenage social hierarchies, and her own awakening sexuality.
A series of initiations — including a charged encounter with a dark-eyed construction worker — tests Lucija’s growing bond with Ana-Marija and unsettles the fragile harmony among the girls. As Lucija begins to question her beliefs, impulses, and identity, the pressures of faith, desire, shame, and conformity collide, pushing her toward a moment of personal breakthrough.
