PIGTAILS is the directorial debut of animator Yoshimi Itazu ("Miss Hokusai", "Paprika"). Based on the Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize-winning comic book "Mitsuami no Kami-sama" by Machiko Kyo, and visually inspired by Derek Jarman's garden in Dungeness -an oasis of life and beauty growing in front of a nuclear power station- the film metaphorically depicts the conflicting and unspeakable feelings that embraced the author in the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster of 2011, and faithfully recreates the contrast between Kyo's naive-looking designs and the story's extreme and thought-provoking twist. Director Itazu and Fukushima-born animation producer Keiko Matsushita ("A Letter to Momo", "Miss Hokusai") visited the still scarred seacoast of northern Japan to the very limits of the forbidden zone in order to bring back into the film more vivid impressions of colours, landscapes, and the cold wind of March. Music by Ichiko Aoba. read more: http://www.productionig.com/contents/works_sp/96_/index.html
Pigtails
The earth shook. The sea roared. And then… There is a small house solitary standing by the seaside. A young girl has been living there alone since that fateful day. Mail is no longer delivered, but even this morning, she’s hanging out the laundry as usual. She’s unaware that all around her, the clothes pegs are quarreling, the pillow argues with the umbrella about the outside world, and the new toothbrush is unsuccessfully trying to charm the grumpy older ones. Do objects exist to be used until they are consumed or broken? Are they afraid of being thrown away once their life cycle is complete? A delicate story of hope in a cruel and gentle world after an unnamed disaster.
