Alma has just entered a new high school and her classmate, Víctor, invites her to a party. The transition of her body and her hidden desires, lead Alma to face her inner fears and thus take the first step to love herself as she is.

With an intelligent and delicate approach, Alma is a coming-of-age story that addresses the conflicts that a young woman faces when going through an arduous personal process to identify with their image on the mirror.
