A documentary about the unlikely story behind the birth of Skype, a truly modern era phenomenon a few billion people have a personal relationship with. Selling Skype, buying it back and re-selling it again is a story which could be from a detective novel. A story is full of contrasts – from Soviet-era apartment blocks to Silicon Valley. From primitive homemade computer games to private jets. From wild parties to complicated lawsuits. 2003. Two Scandinavian investors and their Estonian tech team overcome big odds to create Skype that turns out to become one of the greatest IT success stories of the 21st century. 2005. A party celebrating the $2.6 billion sales of Skype to eBay. The Estonians – just turned multimillionaires – shock the extremely formal eBay by leaping, fully clothed, into the swimming pool. Our story isn’t so much about Skype as a technological and business triumph (probably at the end of its Road of Fame by now anyway) but the total underdogs who were able to make something like that happen.
