A man works at a missile base. It is his son’s birthday. In the lonely silence of his drab office he is wrapping his son’s birthday present—a red toy airplane. Another day at work is nearly over and it’s time to go home and celebrate with his wife and son. Suddenly the phone rings; not the office phone but the red one for secret communications. Orders have been given; the missile is ready…
Ichiro Iwano (b. 1973) graduated from Aichi Prefectual University of Fine Arts and Music, Design Course. He taught himself animation while working as a product designer and computer graphics lecturer. Produced in 2006, 49 is his first animation film.
“This is the story of a paradoxical situation in which a typical father wishes peace and happiness for his family, but works at a place where mass destruction weapons exist. We also live in a complex society where happiness and anxiety are interwoven. The story is developed using missiles as the motif, but I believe that we can see this type of contradiction exists to a large degree in our own lives. I have attempted to use this work as a metaphor to express this kind of situation.”
