Pather Panchali

In a village in rural Bengal, the priest Harihar Roy (Kanu Bannerjee) earns too little to feed his family and leaves to look for work. His wife Sarbajaya (Karuna Banerjee) stays behind with their rebellious daughter Durga (Uma Dasgupta), their small son Apu (Subir Banerjee) and Harihar's elderly aunt. Satyajit Ray, in his first film, keeps the camera at the height of the children and takes their small pleasures as seriously as the family's debts.
