Cocoon

Given its genre as a 'Short, Drama' and its plot as a silent, black and white contemplation of life, survival, and death across various subjects, the audience's emotional response is primarily characterized by Sadness and Melancholy, reflecting the poignant themes of mortality and the passage of time. Empathy is high due to the focus on the vulnerability of living things and the natural cycle. The film's artistic, photographic nature also evokes a significant sense of Awe and Inspiration, while the themes of 'young and old' contribute to Nostalgia. A quiet Curiosity about the unfolding visual narrative and a subtle sense of Hope for continuity complete the dominant emotional landscape.
