In This World: We Are Inside

We Are Inside is an intense portrait of Farah Kassem’s relationship with her father, Mustapha—a prominent aging poet—amidst the turmoil of the 2019 revolution in Tripoli, Lebanon. Farah, a filmmaker returning from abroad, is compelled to care for her ailing father while accompanying him in his twilight years. This urge is fueled by her fear of losing her memories of Mustapha, a trauma rooted in her childhood experience of losing her memories of her deceased mother.
