The Other Me (Greek: Έτερος Εγώ) is a 2016 Greek crime film directed by Sotiris Tsafoulias.[1] The theater release was stopped after suspicions arose that a murder of a taxi driver may have been inspired by the film.[2]
Plot
Inspired by pythagoras' friend numbers (Greek: φίλιοι αριθμοί) a serial killer uses the number 220 as their mark accompanied by quotes of pythagoras. After two consecutive murders, the police hires young criminologist and lecturer Dimitris lai to help with the cases. Albeit plagued by his father's health issues he takes the case. After a series of events Dimitris discovers that a suicide incident and a fatal accident prior to the two murders reported by the police are linked to the murders since the number 220 and quotes of pythagoras appear in all 4 cases. A police officer working with Dimitris later states that all of the victims happened to participate in a trial regarding the death of Kleio Rapti (Κλειώ ραπτή). Kleio rapti had died after she and her boyfriend were hit by a car eight years ago. The driver of the car was put on trial for drunk driving but he was found innocent. Young Kleio died whilst her boyfriend survived. After attending a lecture on mathematics by French mathematician François Cluzet, Dimitris learns about "eteros ego" (έτερος εγώ English: the other me) a formula known by the pythagoreans regarding friend numbers (Amicable numbers), numbers so related that the sum of the proper divisors of each is equal to the other number. Such a pair is 220 and 284. This information proved to be very useful as it is later on reported that Kleio rapti was wearing an amulet with the number 284 carved on it. At the end, Dimitris successfully solves the case as he finds out that the murderer is Kleio's best friend Danae, who owns another amulet similar to Kleio's with the number 220 on it. The protagonist chooses not to turn her in since he is not sure whether her actions were ethical or not.
