IF

IF (2024) primarily evokes a blend of Humor, Joy, and Happiness through its comedic elements and the whimsical nature of the imaginary friends. A strong sense of Nostalgia and Melancholy arises from the central theme of forgotten childhood companions and the bittersweet process of growing up. Sadness and Empathy are felt for the young protagonist's difficult experience and for the imaginary friends left behind. Underlying these are feelings of Hope and Inspiration as the characters work to reconnect IFs with new children, alongside Love for the unique bonds portrayed.
