Phishing, malware, botnet, firewall, darkweb, access control, backdoor, brute force, data leak, DDoS, keylogger, exploit, rootkit, script kid, trojan, these and many other terms are used daily throughout the universe of hackers and Cybersecurity. There are not many films that try to take a look inside this dark world, in a perpetual and unstable balance between legality and illegality and "WHOAMI" is one of them. 2014, the Swiss naturalized German director, Boran Bo Odar, debuts with this work (of which he is also the screenwriter) and the work wins in many festivals, highlighting the remarkable abilities of the debutant. Baran Bo Odar, later, will be the creator of the "Dark" series (2017-2020) which will have great success with the public and critics and, subsequently, of the much unfairly maligned "1899" series (2022) which will be abandoned at the end of the first season for somewhat specious reasons on Netflix's part. In this film the viewer begins to get to know an unknown, submerged world, which is well below the World Wide Web that we all use every day: down there you can find everything and the opposite of everything, you can find violence, blackmail and deaths but also struggles dictated by rigid political-social ideals. The film focuses on the story of a hacker named Benjamin (played by Tom Schilling) who on the web goes by the name “WHOAMI” (all attached which translated means “Who am I?”) and the story starts from the end: Benjamin was finally arrested by the Cybercrimes section of Interpol, after several months of hunting, and is now under interrogation by the Chief of the Cybercrimes Section Hannah Lindberg who hopes that he will spill the beans and reveal the names of his fighting companions.Benjamin wants to start from scratch by telling her story from the beginning: her mother commits suicide when she was 8 years old and her father abandons her Read all
