After a series of upsetting romantic setbacks, Dolore is slowly beginning to embrace a positive relationship with her new boyfriend, Riun, with a generous dose of trepidation. But, when Dolore introduces Riun to her best friend, Sinead, and discovers that they have a less-than-platonic personal history, Dolore's insecurity and interpersonal fears get kicked into hyperdrive and threaten to destroy both relationships. With a little help from Riun and Sinead, who won't let her go without a fight, and the manifestation of a pop star alter ego named Fierce, Dolore struggles to combat her paranoia and anxiety before they consume her and the people she loves.

Sensitive Parts is a tender and sharply observed dramatic comedy about a young woman who is forced to confront her social anxiety and interpersonal fears before they consume her and the people she loves, with a little help along the way from the imaginary manifestation of an iconic popstar.
