Who Am I

Baran bo Odar's Who Am I - No System Is Safe (German: Who Am I - Kein System ist sicher) won the German Film Award (Lola) for Best Editing at the 2015 ceremony and was nominated in several other Lola categories. It opened in Germany in September 2014 and grossed over six million euros at the domestic box office, which made it one of the most commercially successful German thrillers of its year.

It is the second feature by Baran bo Odar, the German-Russian director whose later work with the co-writer Jantje Friese on the Netflix series Dark (2017-2020) and 1899 (2022) made him one of the most widely exported German showrunners of his generation. Who Am I is where the Friese-Odar partnership starts: Friese co-wrote this earlier screenplay and would write every Odar project that followed.

Tom Schilling, one of Germany's most consistent leading actors of the 2010s after his lead role in Oh Boy two years earlier, heads a cast that includes Elyas M'Barek, Wotan Wilke Möhring, Antoine Monot, Jr., Hannah Herzsprung and Trine Dyrholm. Nikolaus Summerer is the cinematographer. The film engages directly with the real hacker collective Anonymous and with the European hacker culture that grew up around the Chaos Computer Club, and it arrived just ahead of a 2010s wave of hacker-themed scripted television that took in the American Mr. Robot, the German Biohackers and several other genre productions.
