Jacqueline is an unemployed actress in bustling New York. Her life is however far from exciting; usually she sits in her apartment and she is continuously looking for significant relationships in real life and on the internet. This doesn’t really work out for her. Her day is filled with her dreams, obsessive twittering, a voicemail relationship with her friend and her crush on Abraham, the doorman of her building. Her search for friendship, love and success often puts Jacqueline in fairly embarrassing yet humorous situations. In order to get closer to Abraham, she pretends she wants to learn French and on the internet she meets all kinds of other people, including the actor Michael Cera, who has a cameo role in the series. The Boring Life of Jacqueline provides a glimpse into the head and life of this neurotic young woman who is looking for the meaning of life - sometimes humorously, sometimes painfully, but always recognisably. It provides a fresh look at modern life. Made for HBO Digitals. Sebastián Silva broke through in the USA with his film La nana.
