Film Who Am I – No System Is Safe

Tuesday Filmscreening

The title gives away the film’s two main themes: The search for one’s own identity and the vulnerability of an electronically interconnected world. Playing with one’s identity is deeply rooted in the hacker scene. Hackers wear digital masks and form alliances and start battles, without knowing who their allies or their foes actually are.
Take Benjamin. He’s invisible. A nobody. Or, according to the language of binary code: A zero among ones. But this changes abruptly when he suddenly meets the charismatic Max. On the outside, they couldn’t be more different, but they share a common interest: hacking into other people’s computers and closed networks. Along with Max’s friends, the impulsive Stephan and the paranoid Paul, they form the subversive hacker group CLAY, which stands for Clowns Laughing @ You.
