Alma Thorpe’s bizarre views on sexuality, motherhood, God, and mail-order sweepstakes make her a living, breathing shrine to Southern Gothic.  This intimate and darkly humorous film follows Alma’s daughter Margie’s struggle with a mentally ill mother and abusive alcoholic father. Framed by accusations of incest, ALMA is an unflinching examination of family secrets and pain tangled up in love.
