'Inside out’ is a sketch of peoples’ lives against a backdrop of tension between modernity and tradition in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The film takes a look at rapid urbanization—the two forces of destruction and construction—raising the question of what happens on the inside—within the hearts and minds of people—when the world begins to turn at breakneck speed on the outside.
