The main character of this movie displays symptoms of having HPD. Although I don't think that's what the directors were getting at but the main character definitely has problems with not being in the spotlight. She think very rashly and she easily lets other influence the way she thinks. She can be dramatic, hence the title of the movie.

-"I don’t wear makeup for myself. I don’t do anything for myself. I wear it to get others attention and for them to compliment me. When people don’t compliment me I reinforce the questions of “am I ugly? Is that why people aren’t complimenting my makeup?”
-"Whenever someone is in my personal sphere, for example, when I am in a group of friends, I cannot stand being ignored. I will shake, feel anxious and sense that everyone is against me."
