21 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This is the first and only movie that has ever made me cry in the cinema. The story about Mats "Ibelin" Steen is a heartfelt sad story. Mats' suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The disease makes Mats slowly wither away. He is gradually losing his bodily functions and is bound to a wheelchair for most of his life.

Due to his handicaps, Mats finds it hard to live a normal life. His parent's tries to include Mats in different events, but Mats is slowly distancing himself. Mats finds happiness in video games. He spends a lot of time playing video games. Mat's parents thinks Mats has a lonely life, but little did they know that Mats actually made many close and meaningful relationships during his time playing World of Warcraft.

After Mats passes away his parents writes a final post on Mats blog. The blogpost informs the readers that Mats has passed away. The parents leave behind a email address incase someone wants to contact them. The aftermath to Mats' parents' supprise are the huge respons they get. Many people contact them about how close they were to Mats and how he influenced their lives. Without the parents' knowledge, Mats had lived a great life viritually.
