Nahnou Fil Dakhil (We Are Inside)

It is difficult for Farah to talk to her 83-year-old father about politics, about her life and her decision not to marry, and about the death of her mother. She spent more than 10 years abroad and returns to Lebanon to accompany the 83-year-old, to support him, and to approach him again. Farah Kassem’s first feature shows their joint search for a way to meet, in shared arguments and laughter, through illness and crises, in the midst of increasing social unrest. Between the father and daughter, between two artists of different generations, more than a portrait of a society emerges; a whole world lies between them. (Dennis Vetter)
