Alma is the name of this young woman who, for five years, belonged to one of the most violent gangs in Guatemala. During these five years she killed, extorted, beat up, terrorized the people in her neighbourhood. Then, when she decided to leave the gang, her old associates tried to kill her instead of letting her go.

In a “face-to-face” confession incorporating subtle interactivity, Alma gives us the straight story about the extreme violence that’s eating away at her country.
