Directed by Satyajit Ray
With Pinaki Sengupta, Smaran Ghosal, Kanu Banerje

This sequel to Pather Panchali follows its young hero Apu through his teenage years as he confronts the harsh realities of death, receives a scholarship to study in Calcutta, and discovers his intellectual passions. Bringing the first film’s mother-son bond into sharp focus, the second chapter of Satyajit Ray’s Apu Trilogy—the first film to win the Golden Lion and the Critics Award at the Venice Film Festival—is a heartbreaking portrait of adolescence set against the backdrop of modernization in midcentury India.
