Ben X is the name of the character Ben (played by Greg Timmermans) in the game "The Conqueror," where he dominates the competition and is unbeatable. However, in reality, Ben is a young boy with autism, who is perceived as an outcast by his classmates and suffers bullying and insults from them. He often fantasizes about being a warrior in the game, but the harshness of reality shatters all his dreams. He navigates between reality and the game, and the boundaries between the two become increasingly blurred. In the game, he meets a girl named Scarlett (played by Laura Verlinden), who inspires Ben to reclaim himself with her sincerity and courage. Ultimately, in Ben's imagination, the girl accompanies him on a "no pain, no gain" path... At the 31st Montreal Film Festival in 2007, this film received the Americas Award as well as the highest awards from the jury and the audience.
