Stories from the real world.
For years, Robert and Trude Steen carried a quiet sorrow for their son Mats, picturing a solitary existence defined by his wheelchair and his computer screen. They imagined his world was small. Then came Mats' funeral. Alongside family, unfamiliar faces filled the chapel, and a revelation unfolded: as Robert spoke of his son, people across Europe, from Finland to England, were grieving. Mats' online friends, unknown to his parents, lit candles in his memory. [Documentary]
