Hypersensitive follows a young woman's challenging and dreamlike exploration of her own perception of reality. Filmmaker Martine Frossard uses personal childhood memories and vivid imagination to create a tender portrayal of a woman seeking emotional well-being in a world that often misunderstands those who are different. The film is filled with symbolism drawn from the natural world and serves as a sincere argument for embracing our feelings, even difficult ones, reminding us that sensitivity is a part of being fully human.
