“Rapturous, profound, it’s a film to come back and touch in your thoughts for quite a while.” -Boston Globe

Synopsis

Narrated by John Malkovich

A substantial part of life is claimed by boredom. Beauty, love, work.. sometimes it just isn’t worth getting out of bed. A girl in a strawberry pie factory, a stressed desert nomad, a Wall street stockbroker, the last living WW2 female spy, a painter who paints Time for 42 years, the first school shooter in history who wounded eleven children and killed two adults because: ‘I don’t like Mondays’, are the portraits that reveal our complex relationship to boredom. John Malkovich gives voice to our inner bored selves. He gets under the skin, prompting questions like, “How many people in the world are like me?”
