Part 3/6:
Arriving in San Francisco, the Anderson family faces the harsh reality of their new home, which Riley finds haunting rather than welcoming. Joy attempts to maintain Riley’s optimism amid confusion and chaos, hoping to integrate the new environment into her life. However, moments of sadness begin infiltrating the mind control room, creating a battle between Joy and Sadness for dominance.
As Riley’s feelings begin to spiral out of control, we witness her struggle with her self-identity and emotions in this unfamiliar setting. The film poignantly illustrates how even happy memories can turn sad as the dynamics of her mental environment begin to fracture.
