Toni Erdmann

Audiences primarily experience **Humor** from Winfried's outlandish alter ego, Toni Erdmann, and his relentless, often awkward, pranks. This is balanced by significant **Joy** and **Happiness** as the strained father-daughter relationship gradually mends and Ines undergoes a personal transformation. Underlying the comedy are strong elements of **Sadness** and **Melancholy** reflecting the initial estrangement and the poignant aspects of their lives, alongside deep **Empathy** for both characters as they navigate their complex bond. **Surprise** is also a key emotion due to Toni's unpredictable appearances and the film's unique comedic style.
