Plot Summary

When Norwegian gamer Mats Steen died at age 25, his parents mourned what they thought was an isolated life. It was only once they had access to his blog that they discovered the deep friendships he created virtually before passing away from a degenerative muscular disease. They were unaware that Mats had long been leading a vibrant digital life that had left a profound impact on a community of fellow gamers. The film takes us on a journey through the breadth of Mats Steen's adventurous online life, introducing us to Ibelin, his charismatic World of Warcraft persona. Through reconstructed animated moments from Mats' gameplay, narrated entries from his blog and interviews with people who knew him as Ibelin, a picture of a remarkable young man emerges, one that underscores how community and soulful relationships can transcend the boundaries of the physical world.

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia In interviews, Benjamin Ree has stated that the film was completed without initial permission from Blizzard, the owners of World of Warcraft. This was a big risk, but necessary to ensure the film's independent status. When the film was completed, the production crew contacted Blizzard and travelled to California to show them the film. After the screening, several of the bosses of the company were crying and granted the necessary rights. See more »
