Elina Sahlin is a Swedish screenwriter and director. She has made the short films Department of Detachment (2021) and Yellow Cross my Heart (2020), which is based on her own published novel of the same name. Bye bye boredom is her first feature film.
When 13-year-old farmgirl Jackie loses her best friend Nova in a drug-related tragedy, she flees to confront the village's elusive drug dealer—the mailman. Despite the 17 years age difference, Jackie moves in with the dealer in his ramshackle apartment, determined to stay until she learns the truth about the fateful night. As she grapples with guilt and uncovers the truth, "Bye Bye Boredom" delivers a riveting exploration of youth, loyalty, and the silent whispers of a troubled past.
