It's to the best of our knowledge, I'm Anne Strangeamps. Today, bored to death.

If we don't do anything about it, then we're doomed to bore ourselves to death through

planetary warlike behavior, which we blow ourselves up, basically, out of a sense of, oh, this is

interesting, this is entertaining. That's where I think we're going.

I'm bored. I'm the chairman of a board.

laughter parties.

The film tries to challenge the conventional view of what boredom is.

And the conventional view is that it's a trivial nuisance.
