Setting Sun (1970)

A sad story about a day in the life of an old captain, now retired. The sadness of this story is softened by a noble dose of humor. It is built on the discrepancy between a quiet life with its small, retirement joys, worries, and the inertia of the old captain's still vivid imagination. Each collision of dream and reality evokes both a slight pain and a smile of understanding. With the help of subtle, unobtrusive details, the director has managed to create the impression of a life that is passing away, sailing away, saying goodbye.
