Backdoor is a short film that is arguably closer in spirit to a comic (or a graphic novel as they like to call themselves nowadays) than to a movie. The visual space of the canvas becomes a meta-camera, a constructed eye that moves over a seemingly infinite chain of pictures arranged on a virtual comic page. As this eye passes the panels, a very short sequence of the movie is played, like a handshake or a mouth speaking half a sentence. Yet all the pictures, as in a comic, fit togehter to tell a story, in the case of Backdoor the story of a small group of hackers in the near future, who, by accident, discover a way to manipulate Delphi, the e-voting system that enables a true direct democracy. As if the question on how to deal with the increadible power wasn't enough, a shady character appears and tries to convince them to install an aristocracy.
The movie then deals with the tensions that arise within the group and the outside events that bring the movie to a dramatic end.
