First film in the Apu trilogy, showing life in a small Indian village, centering on young Apu.
The story of Apu originally appeared in serial form in a Calcutta journal in 1928. Apu (Subir Banerjee) is born to a poor Brahmin family living in its ancestral village. Apu lives with his ineffectual poet father, weary mother, mischievous sister and elderly aunt who tells the children ghost stories and tries not to antagonize her increasingly resentful niece. In Bengali with English subtitles.
