« Alma » is an insight into the Amazon forest and the industries destroying it. It is a poetical ride on beauty and suffering, a reflection on the value of life. Alma reveals what lies behind products such as meat, leather, dairy and exotic hardwood. The film invites us to question our consumer habits, to open our eyes and hearts, and allow room for empathy.
The documentary shows the last days of a Pharmacy that works like at the beginning of the XX century and whose pharmacist tried to conserve till the end the traditional way of making medicines that has been destroyed by the pharmaceutical industry.
