Alma has never seen the sea. Her father, a passionate story-teller, transports her every evening to a world where she meets fish, sirens, algae and sailors. After much planning, Alma and her father travel to the coast eventually. There, they will share more than their excitement seeing the sea. Inspired by a song, Alma del Mar recreates the story of millions of children who for different reasons have been unable to leave their immediate environment; and of their parents who struggle to ensure that their little ones do not miss the opportunity to dream.
