Courtesy of Maipo Film, Andreas Bjorseth If our addiction to our phones — thus, our incessant need for distractions and entertainment — is any indication, humankind increasingly refuses to surrender to boredom, even though a great deal of life is made up of ordinary, nothing moments that we ought to embrace rather than avoid.

What if your young years were consumed by a series of extraordinary high points, and the time has come for you to handle the pain of just existing in the tediousness of everyday life?
