Short description

Benjamin is a socially isolated German computer expert who finds a sense of belonging after meeting the charismatic Max. Together with a small group of friends, they form a subversive hacking collective called CLAY. While the group initially seeks global attention through provocative stunts, their actions eventually attract the scrutiny of Europol and German authorities. Benjamin transforms from an invisible outsider into one of the most wanted hackers in the world as he faces the consequences of his digital crimes.

This German thriller was directed by Baran bo Odar, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Jantje Friese. In the chronological order of his work, this production follows The Silence and precedes Sleepless. The film features Tom Schilling and Elyas M'Barek in the lead roles, supported by a cast that includes Wotan Wilke Möhring, Antoine Monot Jr., Hannah Herzsprung, and Trine Dyrholm.

The movie earned 8 million USD at the worldwide box office. Audience reception has been generally positive, with a rating of 7.4/10 on IMDb based on 67,000 votes and a score of 7.6/10 on TMDB from 1,769 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • In an interview with the German magazine "Journalist" in February 2016, Reed Hastings of "Netflix" (a streaming media provider of films and series) called the film "Who Am I" a "true story" and strongly recommended it to viewers. Hastings added that the company is looking for exactly such unconventional plots. The film's director, Baran bo Odar, and producers, Quirin Berg and Max Wiedemann, are now working on creating Germany's first streaming film production company. The German series "Dark," about four families united by a terrible secret, directed by bo Odar, is scheduled to premiere in 2017.
