BenX tells the story of Ben, a 17 year old with autism spectrum disease. Ben is different. His life is a universe to itself, where he plays his favourite online computer game Archlord avidly, trying hard to train himself for the real world he lives in. The harsh world of a technical school is for him a daily kind of hell. As the horror of being a daily subject to (cyber)bullying grows, Ben devises a plan. Then Scarlite comes into his life, the girl he has met in his on-line game.

The Flemish Minister of education promoted the movie during a special movie show for teachers. Within the online safety campaign a pedagogical dossier was distributed to all schools. In this dossier, schools find guidelines, lesson plans and work sheets on using the film in tackling issues like cyberbullying.
