Your problem is your characters have no readily identifiable motivation. That makes them less than human and impossible for an audience to relate to.

Note that motivation is not necessarily the same as "backstory". People are different, and react differently to the same circumstances.

You need to understand your characters better, otherwise manufacturing a history will highlight your lack of understanding rather than justifying motivation.
