Avalon is the ultimate wargame.
Avalon is a virtual world where the gamers have to upload their mind into the game.
Sometimes the knights of Arthurus lost their lives in the virtual world.
This, can damage their soul in a way that makes the downloading back to their bodies impossible.
The braindead bodies are lying by dozens in Asylums and Hospitals, these are the lost souls of Avalon.
Avalon is an illegal moneygame. Best gamers are motivated in doing this for a living.
Ash, a champion gamer is on a quest to reach a special level of the Game, the Special-A.
She needs to pass the most difficult level, the Class-A to find a character named "Ghost".
Ghost, who looks like a dead child is a portal to the Special-A.
Murphy, Ash's ex-partner left his team mates to gain access to the Special-A.
Ash, motivated by ambition, revenge and curiosity will try to find out what happened to Murphy as it seems, even if his body is lying braindead in an hospital dedicated to gamers who lost their soul in Avalon, his mind is still interfering with the game while lost in the Special-A.
With the help of a Bishop, a guardian of the game sent by the Nine Sisters, the creators of Avalon, Ash will eventually reach the S.A.
But she will learn that reality is a very difficult concept to deal with.
Maybe the real world is not what you thought and where you thought.
An amazing movie. Best made on the dangers of virtual worlds.
I recommend watching it in Polish (original language) with subtitles.
