Who You Think I Am

Claire is introduced as a middle-aged professor specializing in French literature. She shares custody of her two sons with her ex-husband, Gilles, which sets the stage for her ongoing emotional struggles and relationship complexities.

Claire begins a relationship with Ludovic, a younger man who views their affair as light-hearted and casual. As time passes, Claire grows emotionally invested while Ludovic starts to distance himself from her.

When Claire attempts to reach out to Ludovic, she finds his roommate Alex answering instead. Alex pretends that Ludovic is unavailable, deepening Claire's feelings of isolation and concern about their relationship.

In a bid to cope with her emotional turmoil, Claire creates a fictitious Facebook identity as 'Clara Antunês.' This decision leads her into an intense, cybersexual relationship with Alex, complicating her already troubled emotions.

As Alex insists on a real-life meeting, Claire, now fully engrossed in her Clara persona, fabricates a story about moving to Brazil to avoid confrontation. This marks a significant moment where she chooses to escape reality rather than face her problems.

Following Claire's decision to end their digital connection, Alex deletes his Facebook account. This action prompts Claire to seek out Ludovic for more information about Alex, revealing the escalating consequences of her actions.

Through Ludovic, Claire learns of Alex's tragic suicide, which was fueled by heartache from their online relationship. The revelation leaves Claire grappling with guilt over her involvement as Clara and the pain she caused.

Claire undergoes psychotherapy sessions with Dr. Bormans. During these sessions, she reveals deep-seated truths about her life and relationships, offering a glimpse into her troubled psyche and emotional struggles.

During a session, Claire discloses that the images used for her Clara persona actually belong to her estranged niece, Katia. This shocking revelation underscores Claire's desperate need for connection and her complicated familial ties.

Claire provides Dr. Bormans with a narrative where she fantasizes about a life with Alex as partners. This narrative serves as a form of escapism, revealing her desire for happiness that remains hindered by her deep-rooted issues.

Driven by her doubts about Alex’s feelings for Clara, Claire decides to reach out again. She proposes a meeting, intensifying the tension of her already volatile situation as she struggles between her fantasy and reality.

As Alex attempts to reach Clara, he discovers Claire's secondary phone, leading to a confrontation. This explosive moment shatters Claire’s world, resulting in her stumbling back into traffic, seeming to lead to her demise.

Dr. Bormans analyzes Claire's unfolding drama, concluding that she harbors a reluctance to embrace happiness. This critical observation highlights the psychological barriers that Claire faces throughout her journey.

In a twist, Dr. Bormans consults Ludovic, who reveals that he was aware of Claire’s true identity. He fabricated the story about Alex's death, complicating the narrative and questioning the trustworthiness of previous events.

As Claire prepares to leave the treatment facility, she uses Clara's phone to call Alex. This act hints at a continuation of their complex, twisted connection, suggesting that Claire remains tangled in her web of deceit and longing.
