After suffering a sexual violation at the hands of a stranger, Toronto-based musician Benjamin (Mark Clennon) must pull together the money for HIV-preventive treatment in the event that he’s been exposed to the virus – while also trying to avoid the man he’s just started dating.
Short of cash and determined to solve the problem himself, Benjamin spends a frantic weekend trying to raise the necessary funds… and he only has 72 hours to do so.
In his first feature, writer-director M. H. Murray filters his own real-life experience through the character of Benjamin, whom he and lead actor Mark Clennon created in their 2020 short film Ghost.
Bracing and unapologetically provocative, I Don’t Know Who You Are is all about inner conflicts forcing themselves to the surface, with an additional level of commentary on how hard it is to simply exist in Toronto without money or status.
The film also features a powerhouse performance from Clennon, a Toronto artist and poet who also serves as the film’s producer and story editor, in addition to writing and performing all of Benjamin’s songs.
