Set Sail is an intriguing animation that dives into nostalgia and memory. The film opens at a somber funeral, but it morphs into a vibrant exploration of the past. The granddaughter's reflections transport us to the bustling streets of early Taipei, capturing both the struggles and the spirit of the time. The animation style feels almost tactile, with a hand-drawn quality that evokes a sense of warmth amidst the melancholia. The pacing meanders, allowing moments to breathe, letting the viewer soak in the rich atmosphere. Themes of loss and remembrance are intertwined seamlessly, making it feel deeply personal. The performances, although animated, resonate with genuine emotion, creating a connection that lingers long after the credits roll.
