    • Synopsis
    • Mats Steen, a Norwegian gamer, died of a degenerative muscular disease at the age of 25. His parents mourned what they thought had been a lonely and isolated life, when they started receiving messages from online friends around the world. The film recreates Mats' adventurous online life as Ibelin. All dialogue and events are based on actual archives from roleplay in World of Warcraft.
