Staying Vertical

The emotional landscape of 'Staying Vertical' is a nuanced blend of its 'Comedy' and 'Drama' genres. Audiences primarily experience **Humor** stemming from the film's often absurd or observational take on life's challenges, particularly Leo's unexpected journey into single fatherhood. This is balanced by significant **Sadness** and **Empathy** for both Marie's struggle with post-natal depression and abandonment, and Leo's subsequent isolation and difficulties caring for their baby. A pervasive sense of **Melancholy** reflects the film's contemplative and sometimes somber tone, while underlying **Love** for the child and moments of **Joy** and **Happiness** punctuate the narrative, offering brief respites from the dramatic weight.
