Hypersensitive recounts the turbulent, surrealistic journey of a young woman struggling to understand her unique take on the world. Drawing on her own childhood memories as well as her fertile imagination, filmmaker Martine Frossard paints a compassionate portrait of a woman on a quest for healing in a society with little tolerance for difference. Rich in symbolism inspired by plant life, her film is a heartfelt plea for us all to take greater heed of our emotions, even the most painful ones—reminding us that to be sensitive is to be alive.
