Age of Panic

Age of Panic (2013) is a dramedy that effectively blends comedic chaos with underlying emotional depth. The most prominent emotion is Humor, stemming from the absurd and stressful situations Laetitia faces as she juggles professional demands and an unexpected family crisis. This is closely followed by Anxiety, reflecting the 'panic' in the title, driven by the pressure of election day, being late, and the tension of dealing with an ex-partner. Empathy is high as viewers relate to the universal struggles of co-parenting and navigating complex family dynamics. Sadness and Melancholy arise from the dramatic core, exploring the bittersweet realities of a broken family. Anger is present due to the inevitable conflicts between the ex-partners, while moments of Joy and Happiness provide a necessary balance, often found in the interactions with the children or small resolutions amidst the chaos.
