Virtual Ability

Synopsis

Tord is a 16 year old who spends most of his time watching films, TV and playing computer games and fantasizing. In his daydreams he can do virtually anything: be a popular comedian, star in a new Die Hard film and pick up the girl of his dreams. While his friends go to the hottest disco in town and pick up girls, Tord can do nothing but daydream about the same things. But all this is about to change when he meets Marvin....
