Black Screen. A door opens. Light from the inside illuminates the silhouette of a man. He enters an empty, run-down room with yellowed wallpaper. The view outside the single window reveals a sparse tree in front of a desolate city. Suddenly the door closes shut barring the only way out.
This short film is the most ambitious work by Mirjam Baker and Michael Kren to date. It is a stop motion puppet animation telling a story about the attempt to come to terms with a situation and the liberation from it.
The Back Room is the short film version of the music video to the song 'Galaxy' written by Ben Martin and performed by I AM CEREALS.
