Who Am I is techno-thriller film directed by Baran bo Odar. It is centered on a computer hacker group in Berlin geared towards global fame. It was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section on the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival at September 6, 2014.
Benjamin (Tom Schilling) is a nobody, an outsider. This changes when he meets the charismatic Max (Elyas M’Barek). The two of them couldn’t be more different, but they share one mutual interest: hacking. Together with Max’s friends, impulsive Stephan (Wotan Wilke Möhring) and paranoid Paul (Antoine Monot) they form the subversive hacker group CLAY. CLAY provokes with hilarious hacks and has the finger on the pulse of a whole generation. For the first time in his life Benjamin feels like he belongs and even attractive Marie (Hannah Herzsprung) starts to notice him. What started out as fun soon turns deadly serious, when Benjamin and CLAY are suddenly investigated by German Secret Service and Europol. With Hanne Lindberg (Trine Dyrholm), the leading Europol cybercrime investigator, at their heels, Benjamin starts to realize that he is no longer a nobody, but one of the most wanted hackers of the world.
