We Are Inside adalah potret intens hubungan Farah Kassem dengan ayahnya, Mustapha—seorang penyair terkemuka yang menua—di tengah gejolak revolusi 2019 di Tripoli, Lebanon. Farah, seorang sineas yang kembali dari perantauan, terdorong untuk merawat ayahnya yang sakit sekaligus menemaninya di hari-hari senja. Dorongan itu diperkuat ketakutannya akan kehilangan memori tentang Mustapha, sebuah trauma yang berakar dari pengalaman masa kecilnya ketika ia kehilangan ingatan tentang sang ibu yang telah wafat.
