The Story
Living hand to mouth in Calcutta and nursing an unfinished novel, Apu is swept into wedding a stranger, Aparna, when her arranged match collapses. To his surprise the union blossoms into tender, genuine love, until Aparna dies in childbirth and grief drives him to abandon their infant son and wander for years. Coaxed back at last by his old friend Pulu, Apu returns to the wary boy and, slowly, reaches for the bond he had refused.
