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. Ibelin offers an endearing portrait of Mats’ abundant life through World of Warcraft and is a heartwarming and adventurous journey through his digital life and his profound impact on a community.
