From the Inside is composed of four short films all devoted to the personal life of each film's creator.

Paddy Jolley's The Drowning Room is a domestic drama with a difference. The characters eat together, pet the family cat and fight just like normal families except they conduct these mundane acts of daily life underwater. Inspired by a conversation Jolley had with his own family in which he felt he was drowning in a lack of understanding between generations, the film reflects his feeling of both proximity and distance in the actors' heavy, laboured movements and muffled sounds.
