Avalon (2001 film)

Avalon , Avaron? , also known as Gate to Avalon, is a 2001 JapanesePolish science fiction drama film directed by Mamoru Oshii and written by Kazunori It. The film stars Magorzata Foremniak as Ash, a player in an illegal virtual reality video game whose sense of reality is challenged as she attempts to unravel the true nature and purpose of the game. Avalon was filmed in Wrocaw, Nova Huta, the Modlin Fortress and Warsaw.

The next day, Ash watches as Bishop Dariusz Biskupski, a player who spied on her the day before, breaks her record time on the Class A mission. After Ash attempts to find Bishops stats in frustration, Ash cancels her game and requests more information about the player Bishop from the GM, saying that she is being challenged by him. Ash later runs into Stunner Bartek widerski, a Thief class player and a member from her former party, Team Wizard. While eating at a cantina, Stunner asks her if she heard what happened to Murphy Jerzy Gudejko, her former team leader. Like her, he also went alone and was lost.While Ash visits Murphy at the hospital, Stunner informs her on a hidden character in Class A, a neutral character that appears as a silent young girl with sad eyes. Some of the players think that she is a bug in the program, and name her the ghost. As Ash walks through the corridor, a girl with the same characteristics as described by Stunner watches Ash. Stunner tells her that the players who went after the ghost never returned and turned into Unreturned. There is a rumored area in the game called Special A, where players cannot reset to escape the game, however it does give out a ton of experience points when completed. Thinking that the ghost is the only gateway into Special A, players go after her, like Murphy did. Ash stands over Murphys bed in the ward, where he has become a comatose vegetable. ........
