The Story
After his father, a priest in Benares, dies of fever, young Apu and his widowed mother Sarbajaya return to a Bengal village, where the boy's hunger for learning wins him a scholarship in Calcutta. As Apu is drawn deeper into books and city life, the distance between him and his lonely mother quietly widens. When she falls ill and dies before he can return, he is left to grieve and to choose the future she made possible.
