Alma - The Film In the three parts of the film, Alma MahlerWerfel experiences two World Wars and changes in civilization as had never previously occurred. From turn-of-the-century Vienna to the America of the 1960s, where she uses to hold court like a fallen monarch in exile, «ALMA» is to shed light on all stages of her path through life, a life in which the cultural history of half a century is reflected. But also, in this woman's life, full of fervour and passion, that very special sphere, the private, the intimate and the erotic, cannot be disregarded. For the most intimate aspects of ALMA's life are also entirely representative of the life of one of the most important women of the day, a monument to the extraordinary things in life. For artistic creativity is always determined by emotion, and yet sex and love are often kept hidden, even in today's open-hearted climate. The innermost secrets are only really known to those involved; they remain a book with seven seals. «Alma - the film» explores this mystery.
