Every city has a building just like an “urban tumor”: hard to sell and impossible to afford. They once offer every possible sort of pleasure and youthful desires. However, the building slowly falls from its grace with every scandal and incident, albeit in prime location. Palaces is set in one such building.

The story spans three decades, tracking the stories and relations of the building’s residents. Inside Out gives audience a suspicious accident, a suicide, an affair, an impasse, and relentless knocks on the door - these are some of the snippets. Outside In stages gut-wrenching scenes such as the theft of a kidney, a murder, a phone scam, a vigilante, and a broken heart. The two installments can be enjoyed either independently or together.
