Directed by Satyajit Ray
Produced by Epic Productions, Satyajit Ray Productions
A tender, observational portrait of a boy's intellectual and moral awakening set against the spiritual landscape of India, anchored by the deepening complexity of his bond with his mother.
Apu and his family have moved away from the country to live in the bustling holy city of Benares. As he progresses from wide-eyed child to intellectually curious teenager, eventually studying in Kolkata, we witness his academic and moral education, as well as the growing complexity of his relationship with his mother.
