In a future ruled by artificial intelligence, Alma lives in a carefully controlled world where nothing seems left to chance. But when impossible memories and unexplained anomalies begin to disrupt her reality, she embarks on a search for the truth—one that could shatter everything she has ever believed. Set within an oppressive confined environment, **ALMA** is a science fiction thriller that explores memory, identity, and the enduring power of free will.
