Director Shuchi Talati's Sundance hit Girls Will Be Girls' is finally coming to cinemas.

The film, which won the Sundance Audience Award: World Cinema Dramatic and the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting, promises a coming-of-age tale hinged around a student at a conservative boarding school in the Himalayas.

At the core of the film is Mira (Preeti Panigrahi), a studious 16-year-old girl whose burgeoning exploration of sexual desire and romance is thrown into confusing disarray by her mother Anila (All We Imagine As Light star Kani Kusruti), whose own adolescence wasn't as open to such awakenings.

Girls Will Be Girls will be released in the U.S. Sept. 13 and in the UK and Ireland on Sept. 20.
