Ben X is the name of Ben (played by Greg Timmermans) in the game "Avenger," where he dominates and conquers all. However, in reality, Ben is a boy with autism, and his silent demeanor makes him seem like an outcast to his classmates, who bully and insult him. Ben often fantasizes about being a warrior in the game, but the harshness of reality shatters all his dreams. This narrative navigates between reality and the game, with the lines between the two gradually blurring. In the game, Ben meets a girl named Scarlett (played by Laura Verlinden), who inspires him to reclaim himself with her sincerity and courage. Ultimately, in Ben's imagination, the girl accompanies him on a "life-or-death" path... At the 31st Montreal Film Festival in 2007, this film won the Americas Award, as well as the jury and audience's highest honors.
