Description:
In an anonymous country, a man works at a base that is equipped with powerful missiles. Today is his son’s birthday, and he has just finished making a model plane that he has been secretly creating in his spare time.
He intends to give the plane to his son as a present when he returns home. However, just when the day’s work is coming to an end, the telephone rings. He wonders what it can be…
This is a story of the paradoxical situation in which a typical father wishes peace and happiness for his family, though he works at a place where weapons of mass destruction exist. We also live in a complex society where happiness and anxiety are interwoven. This work is a metaphor that expresses this kind of situation.
