The Story
Satyajit Ray's debut follows the family of the dreaming priest Harihar, his careworn wife Sarbajaya, the spirited daughter Durga, and young Apu as they scrape by alongside an aged aunt. Between everyday joys and quiet hardships, the father leaves to find work in the city for a long absence. When monsoon rains bring fever and sudden loss, the family is broken open, and they gather what remains to leave the only home Apu has known.
