The Middleman
Directed by Satyajit Ray
Produced by Indus Films
A sobering portrait of idealism meeting harsh economic reality, following a young graduate's disillusionment as he discovers the compromises required to survive in the business world.
A bright and idealistic young graduate steels himself for a dog-eat-dog world, only to flounder in a job market packed with thousands of other hopefuls. When he eventually decides to start his own business as a middle-man, he discovers that the world of business does not live up to his lofty ideals.
