Synopsis: The struggle of a young Romanian gendarme, Cristi, who tries to find the balance between two apparently opposing parts of his identity: that of a man working in a macho hierarchical environment and that of a closeted gay person who tries to keep his personal life a secret. While his long-distance French boyfriend, Hadi, is visiting him, Cristi is called in for an intervention at a movie theatre, where an ultra-nationalist, homophobic group has interrupted the screening of a queer film. After one of the protesters threatens to out him, Cristi spirals out of control. (Icon Production)

Storyline

Inspirat de evenimentele de la Cinema Muzeul Țăranului Român, din 2013, apoi din 2018, când proiecțiile filmelor 120 BMP și Soldații. Poveste din Ferentari au fost întrerupte de reprezentanții unei asociații care manifesta împotriva peliculelor pe tema homosexualității, scandalul necesitând intervenția Jandarmeriei. Distribuitorul filmului 120 BMP în România, Cristian Mungiu, a făcut declarații despre întâmplare

Trivia

  • Evenimentele de la Cinema MȚR au generat două scenarii, complet diferite: Jandarmul, de Dan Chișu, și Înăuntru, de Ioana Moraru.
  • Scenariul Înăuntru (titlu de lucru) este lucrarea de licență la Scenaristică pentru Ioana Moraru.
