We Are Inside Farah Kassem

We Are Inside follows Lebanese director Farah Kassem as she returns to her hometown of Tripoli after 15 years abroad, seeking to reconnect with her aging father, Mustapha, a celebrated poet. Set primarily within the intimacy of their apartment, the film delves into the intergenerational and ideological tensions between them as they find common ground in their shared love of poetry against the backdrop of Lebanon’s political turmoil. Through tender, often humorous moments, Kassem’s camera captures the evolving bond between father and daughter, while the world outside, glimpsed through windows, becomes a poignant reflection of the changes in their lives. As Kassem steps into the streets during the 2019 protests, the film expands from a personal journey to a resonant meditation on family, politics, and the passage of time. (ME)
